From Film Director to Webtoon Artist at Suwon Media Center
The Suwon Media Center of Suwon Cultural Foundation (CEO Kwak Do-yong) will continue to operate customized media education for local youth in the second semester through the 'Suwon E:um Sharing School 2026' project coordinated by Gyeonggi Suwon Office of Education.
The second semester curriculum includes a total of two educational programs: △Wiggle Wiggle, Creating Moving Stop-Motion Videos and △Imagination Bursting! Drawing Mini Webtoons with My Own Hands. The programs focus on popular media familiar to youth such as animation and webtoons, and are characterized by a creation-focused curriculum where students go beyond simply consuming media and directly complete their own ideas and stories as content.
Applications can be submitted through the Gyeonggi Sharing School website. The first recruitment period runs from 10:00 a.m. on August 20 to 6:00 p.m. on August 25, and if enrollment falls short, a second recruitment will be held from August 26 onwards. Each program will accept 15 participants, and classes may be cancelled if enrollment does not meet capacity. Further details can be found on the Suwon Media Center and Gyeonggi Sharing School websites.
An official from Suwon Cultural Foundation stated, "Following the first semester, the Suwon Media Center will continue to operate the 'Suwon E:um Sharing School' in the second semester, providing opportunities for youth to directly experience familiar media such as film and webtoons and express their own ideas as content," and added, "We hope that youth will discover their interests and aptitudes through media creation activities and expand their future possibilities."
Meanwhile, in addition to institution-linked education, Suwon Media Center is also promoting 'School-Customized Programs' that visit classrooms directly. Based on representative curricula that received high satisfaction ratings at the center, a total of four lectures will be offered to meet each school's request. The school-customized education program, which began in July, is scheduled to continue at school sites through December.
