- Age-specific education programs launched for students, adults, and people with disabilities
- Training and job opportunities created through docent and sign-language interpreter programs
- Focus on skills, inclusion, and future careers in heritage education
The Korea Heritage Service has launched a new set of customized education programs at the Natural Monument Center, aiming to build skills, expand job opportunities, and make heritage learning accessible to all.
The programs are designed for different age groups and learning needs. University students in related majors will mentor elementary school students through a structured 'knowledge map' approach, helping younger learners explore natural heritage while gaining early exposure to academic and research pathways. Middle-aged adults and children will also take part in docent-style programs, developing communication, teaching, and public engagement skills.
To strengthen learning outcomes, the center will run curriculum-linked natural heritage classes during the summer and winter school vacations. These sessions aim to nurture interest in science and conservation while encouraging students to consider future careers in research and education. Outreach programs will also travel to underserved communities, sharing learning resources and expanding access to heritage education.

A major focus of the initiative is inclusion and employment. Through a new sign-language interpretation volunteer program, the service will train deaf docents in partnership with the Daejeon Municipal Sign Language Welfare Center. Trained participants will work at exhibition sites, improving access for visitors with hearing impairments while gaining real-world job skills and professional experience.
Program schedules and registration details will be shared on the center’s official website. Officials said the goal is to create an education system where learning, skills, and opportunity grow together.
