Learning Basic Income Through Entertainment... 'Basic Income On Air' Season 2 Premieres on the 25th

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Nohun Reporter] Gyeonggi Province will launch the 'Gyeonggi Province Basic Income On Air Broadcast' starting from the 25th to provide easier and more enjoyable access to basic income policy.

The 'Basic Income On Air Broadcast' is an online broadcast program designed to present accurate information about basic income policy, which has become a nationwide topic following the distribution of emergency basic income, in an easy-to-understand manner for anyone. It was planned to propose an online education model utilizing entertainment program formats as non-face-to-face educational programs have become more active following COVID-19.

Last month, the province operated a total of five sessions of 'Gyeonggi Province Basic Income On Air Education' via YouTube livestream to convey accurate information about basic income, and received strong positive response while operating an on-the-spot Q&A; corner using real-time chat from participants to resolve on-site inquiries.

The Basic Income On Air broadcast will feature various types of programs including the 'Emergency Basic Income! Voices from the Field' segment, which gathers perspectives from traditional market merchants experiencing basic income following the emergency basic income distribution, 'Basic Income Challenge Golden Bell,' which allows testing understanding and knowledge about basic income, and 'Basic Income Board Game,' which allows experiencing basic income through games, providing opportunities to enhance both familiarity with and understanding of the policy.

On July 1st, the 'Basic Income Challenge Golden Bell' will be held at the newly opened 'Basic Income Promotion Hall,' the only one of its kind in Korea, located in Hall 1 of KINTEX.

Kim Chan-hwi, member of the Gyeonggi Province Basic Income Committee and deputy director of the Institute for Political Economy Alternatives, who participated as an instructor in the previous Basic Income On Air Education Season 1, said of the Basic Income On Air broadcast approach that takes basic income policy in a new direction, "It is a broadcast that raises basic income understanding by one level, just as basic income elevates quality of life."

Gyeonggi Province will premiere the Basic Income On Air broadcast on Thursday, the 25th at 7 p.m., and plans to release episodes every Wednesday at 11 a.m. from July 1st to the 15th through the YouTube Gyeonggi Province Basic Income On Air Broadcast channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1S4s7FBjIolXcaN5CyD8mg).
