The Education Program for Textbook Specialist project is designed to improve the level of understanding of Korea by inviting social studies teachers and textbook writers as well as government officials responsible for textbook policies to Korea. Lectures on Korean history, culture, society, and the economy are provided, and seminars on textbooks and cultural experience opportunities and field trips are offered as well in an effort to gradually improve the contents of foreign textbooks related to Korea. Additionally, the project seeks to develop international understanding from mutually reciprocal positions by examining content in textbooks that describe each other’s country and considering cooperative methods to improve the descriptions in textbooks.
