On September 4, Sejong University hosted a ceremony to welcome back its World Friends Korea (WFK) IT Sejong Overseas Volunteer Corps members, the institution announced. The gathering aimed to showcase the outcomes of the volunteers' endeavors in Jizzakh, Uzbekistan, during the previous month, and honor the students who participated in educational and cultural exchange initiatives.
The WFK-IT Volunteer Corps, managed by the National Information Society Agency, is a program dedicated to narrowing the global digital divide by delivering information technology education and executing projects in partner nations with restricted access to digital technologies, while simultaneously empowering Korean IT professionals to develop a global perspective.
Sejong University was chosen in April to administer the WFK-IT Volunteer Corps this year and established its volunteer team under the guidance of the Sejong Sharing Volunteer Corps and the Sejong SW-Centered University Project team. The volunteer corps delivered tailored IT instruction and arranged Korean cultural exchange activities in Jizzakh from August 1 to 17. During the initial week, the volunteers offered fundamental IT training, software installation, and internet accessibility to the local community.
