Kwangwoon University (President Yoo Jisang) was selected as the “2021 International Youth Leader Exchange Support Project”.

This project, hosted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and supervised by the Korea Youth Activity Promotion Agency, is a program designed to support exchange activities among multinational college students. It is aimed at strengthening youth capacity as a global democratic citizen by supporting mutual exchanges between Korean and multinational youths based on a domestic university base, enhancing understanding of mutual cultures, and promoting friendship.

Kwangwoon University has formed a consortium with the Municipal Gangbuk Youth Center, and from September 2021, a total of 60 Korean university students and foreign students will conduct various activities under the theme of 'Action Plan for a Better Daily Life: Better than Today'. In addition, it aims to share multinational cultures and grow green leadership through various exchange activities related to the sustainable development goal (environmental issues), which is a global issue.

In particular, through 1:1 mentoring between Korean university students and foreign students, it is expected to provide opportunities for continuous cultural exchange in daily life and to improve practical adaptability to study abroad.

“Kwangwoon University will continue to provide opportunities for international students to adapt to Korean culture and support a variety of programs that enhance communication,” said Yoo Jisang, who is in charge of the project.
