The Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced its sponsorship of the Children’s Stamp Tour, a collaborative initiative among national institutions in the Busan region, to create a child-friendly cultural environment where citizens can thrive.
On June 12, a business agreement signing ceremony was held at the National Busan Science Museum, with participation from the City of Busan, the National Busan Science Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the National Assembly Library, and Busan Metropolitan Corporation.
This agreement was established to implement a science, marine, and reading culture program aimed at children, under the vision of making Busan a “city that is good for giving birth and raising children.”
The program is hosted by the National Busan Science Museum, National Maritime Museum, and National Assembly Library, and is supported by Busan Metropolitan City and Busan Metropolitan Corporation.
The City plans to provide administrative support including joint promotional activities linked to its childcare policy brand, "Just Like You, With Great Care."
●Joint promotion and implementation of the Children’s Stamp Tour
●Co-promotion with Busan’s childcare policy brand
●Regional cultural revitalization through joint marketing
●Collaborative development and exchange of science, marine, and reading content
●Implementation of joint projects for regional development and realization of social value
Under this agreement, the five participating institutions will launch the full-scale Children’s Stamp Tour: Kong Kong Kong starting this July through October.
Children who visit the National Busan Science Museum, National Maritime Museum, and National Assembly Library in Busan will collect three stamps—Star Kong (science), Ocean Kong (marine), and Book Kong (reading)—and complete their very own personalized storybook through this experiential program.
Jo Yujeong, Director-General of Busan’s Bureau of Women and Family Affairs, stated:
“This project, centered around the national anchor institutions in Gijang, Gangseo, and Yeongdo, is expected to create a hands-on cultural network that naturally introduces local characteristics and culture to children.
Furthermore, the public kids’ café opening this September at Busan Citizens Park will also be included in the collaboration, with plans to expand music programs in connection with the Busan Concert Hall,” she added.
