Culture Ministry to Hold Regional Briefings on 'Third Basic Plan for the Promotion of Regional Culture'
Briefings to tour six regions nationwide starting Oct. 20
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will hold regional briefings on the Third Basic Plan for the Promotion of Regional Culture (2026-2030), which it announced in September.
The ministry said on Oct. 16 that it will hold briefings on the plan in six regions from Oct. 20 to Nov. 6: the southeastern region (Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam), the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region, Seoul-Gangwon, Honam (Gwangju, South Jeolla and North Jeolla) and Jeju, Incheon-Gyeonggi, and the Chungcheong region (Daejeon, Sejong, North Chungcheong and South Chungcheong).
The briefings will begin in the southeastern region in Busan on Oct. 20, followed by the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region on Oct. 22, Seoul-Gangwon on Oct. 27, Honam and Jeju on Oct. 30, Incheon-Gyeonggi on Nov. 3, and the Chungcheong region on Nov. 6.
The briefings are intended to explain the plan's key details directly to officials from metropolitan and local governments and representatives of cultural and arts organizations, so that its policy direction can lead to tangible change in communities.
The ministry will introduce the key strategies in the Third Basic Plan, which sets out a vision and direction for regional cultural policy over the next five years, and share guidance on how metropolitan governments should develop their regional culture promotion implementation plans in line with it. The main participants will be local government officials and representatives of regional cultural institutions, including metropolitan and local cultural foundations and local cultural centers.
Each briefing will begin at 2 p.m. and last about two hours. The program will include an explanation of the basic plan by the ministry, a presentation on how metropolitan governments should develop their implementation plans, and a question-and-answer session.
The final briefing for the Chungcheong region will also be livestreamed. Representatives of organizations unable to attend earlier briefings, as well as artists and members of the public interested in regional cultural policy, can participate through the ministry's official YouTube channel.
