Arirang International Broadcasting (CEO Kim Tae-jeong) announced on the 17th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Seocho-gu Education Support Center at its Seocho-dong headquarters to strengthen educational capacity in the local community.
The agreement is to jointly promote the program ‘MiraeOn’, which develops a youth press corps in connection with global media literacy education based on an understanding of cultural diversity.
The two institutions will build a cooperative framework with the goal of fostering media talent with a global perspective and plan to strengthen the capacity to support students in the community and in schools by developing content that can be applied in educational settings.
The ‘MiraeOn’ program is a global media education initiative developed in conjunction with the local community and will run through the end of the year, beginning with a launch ceremony on the 17th.
Comprising a total of eight sessions, participating students will engage in various practice-centered programs, including international media literacy education focused on cultural diversity, on-site reporting at the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education expo, mentoring by Arirang International Broadcasting staff, and broadcast video production.
Arirang International Broadcasting CEO Kim Tae-jeong stated, “It is meaningful to provide diverse educational opportunities and realize social value through cooperation with the local community,” and added, “In particular, through the ‘MiraeOn’ program, we expect students to broaden their understanding of diverse cultures and gain practical help in exploring career paths.”
The program is being pursued as part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Arirang International Broadcasting and is expected to contribute to achieving ‘Quality Education (Goal 4)’ among the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Arirang International Broadcasting plans to continue supporting young people so they can design sound career paths and build future competencies through education programs linked to the local community.
