The Future Mobility School is a global educational program for future generations, developed by Hyundai Motor Company to help youth understand future mobility technologies and industrial changes through hands-on experiences. As of the end of 2025, approximately 110,000 students from over 2,700 schools worldwide have completed the program.

Since 2016, Hyundai Motor Company has collaborated with the Ministry of Education to support career experience education for elementary and middle school students on topics such as electrification, hydrogen technology, autonomous driving, and evolving environmental trends. Through both theoretical studies and practical activities using in-house developed teaching materials, students are offered opportunities to easily understand the mobility industry and explore related professions.

Since 2023, Hyundai Motor Company has expanded the program's reach in partnership with the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) to ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Laos.

This agreement marks the first instance of the Future Mobility School program being introduced in Europe. On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, it aims to expand educational exchanges between the two countries and broaden French youths' understanding of the future mobility industry and technological changes. Hyundai Motor Company plans to work with the French Korean Educational Center to develop specific operating guidelines for the Future Mobility School in France that reflect local educational environments and student needs.

In particular, this is the first time Korean-language teaching materials will be used in a Future Mobility School operated by an overseas educational institution. Reflecting the growing interest in and demand for Korean language and culture education in France, the program will integrate future mobility education with Korean language learning.

A representative from Hyundai Motor Company stated, "This MOU signing is a meaningful starting point for the Future Mobility School's debut in Europe," adding, "On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of Korea-France diplomatic relations, we hope this initiative will become a valuable opportunity for French youth to broaden their understanding of future technologies and industries."
