This program is a civil consigned education program conducted for the Department of HR Innovation to solve duty related issues of each department and improve the expertise of civil servants. Our university was selected as we prepared a customized program for the Ministry of Education personnel who have to cooperate frequently with overseas education organizations.
The International Exchange Academy consisted of a total of 11 sections, and experts were invited from the following fields -- Understanding of the Continents (Korean peninsula, Asia, South America, the Middle East) and ODA (Official Development Assistance) Policy, and Directions of Development; The Significance of Korean ODA; Understanding of Cultural Diversity and Hallyu; Public Diplomacy; The Current Situation and Prospects of Hallyu in the Global Village; The Global Education Vision of the UN; National Brand Status and Methods of Global PR; and The Current Status of International Student Exchange and Solutions to Issues.
The civil servants who took part in the program said the vivid stories of experts in the field and expert approach method on international exchange in general was very useful, and said they hoped for the program to expand further in the future.
The Korean Culture Institute, which hosted the program, operates an ‘International Cultural Exchange Academy, NEXT,’ each year for those working in public organizations based on the funds supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Korean Arts Management Service. It has now expanded its International Exchange Academy program to include education for Ministry of Education civil servants.
Director of the Korean Culture Institute, Shi-youn Moon, said, “The education program planning and operations abilities of our university are highly evaluated externally, and we are continuously receiving requests for customized programs, not only for civil servants and public organization employees, but also for overseas organizations,” and added, “Our programs will provide an opportunity to contribute to society, one of the educational goals of our university, and make our university known externally.”
