From Film Director to Webtoon Artist at Suwon Media Center
Suwon Media Center under the Suwon Culture Foundation (CEO Kwak Do-yong) will continue to operate customized media education for local youth in the second semester as an institutional partnership project of the "2026 Suwon E:eum Shared School" under the auspices of Gyeonggi Province Suwon Office of Education.
The second semester program will offer a total of two courses: △Wiggle Wiggle, Creating Moving Stop-Motion Videos and △Imagination Overflowing! 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-centered curriculum where students move beyond simply consuming media and directly complete their own ideas and stories as content.
Applications for the program can be made on the Gyeonggi Shared School website. The first recruitment period runs from 10 a.m. on August 20 to 6 p.m. on August 25, and if enrollment falls short, a second recruitment period is scheduled to begin on August 26. Each course will accept 15 participants, and classes may be cancelled if enrollment targets are not met. For more information, visit the Suwon Media Center and Gyeonggi Shared School websites.
An official from the Suwon Culture Foundation stated, "Following the first semester, Suwon Media Center will continue to operate the 'Suwon E:eum Shared School' in the second semester, providing opportunities for students to directly experience familiar media such as film and webtoons and express their own ideas as content," adding, "We hope that through media creation activities, youth will discover their interests and aptitudes and expand the possibilities of their future."
Meanwhile, Suwon Media Center is also promoting a "School-Customized Program" that visits classrooms directly alongside institutional partnership education. Based on representative curricula with high satisfaction rates within the center, a total of four courses will be operated tailored to school application demands. This school-customized education program, which began in July, is scheduled to continue in school settings through December.
