On September 4, Sejong University convened a ceremony to welcome back participants of its World Friends Korea (WFK) IT Sejong Overseas Volunteer Corps. The occasion aimed to showcase the outcomes of the volunteers' work in Jizzakh, Uzbekistan, during the previous month, and acknowledge the students who engaged in educational and cultural exchanges.
The WFK-IT Volunteer Corps, managed by the National Information Society Agency, is a global initiative addressing the digital divide by providing IT education and undertaking projects in nations with limited technological access. At the same time, the program aids Korean IT professionals in honing their global skills.
Sejong University was chosen in April to lead the WFK-IT Volunteer Corps for the current year and assembled its team under the guidance of the Sejong Sharing Volunteer Corps and the Sejong SW-Centered University Project team. From August 1 to 17, the volunteers delivered tailored IT instruction and orchestrated Korean cultural exchange activities in Jizzakh.
The initial week saw the volunteers imparting fundamental IT skills to the local populace. The university's presence in Uzbekistan signifies its commitment to fostering international collaboration and bridging the digital gap.
