Lay the Educational Foundation That Resonates with the Public in 2023

In 2023, the KIDI Academy plans to enhance its local campus operations and expand its educational
initiatives. By aligning its programs with regional projects tailored to the unique characteristics of areas like
Gyeongsangnam-do and Chungcheongnam-do, the Academy aims to raise awareness about the significance of
islands and create pathways for ordinary individuals to become experts.

The curriculum will include step-by-step, consumer-
customized training programs such as the island
policy leader course, the island field leader course,
and the island awareness course. In addition, plans
are underway to train island coordinators and
consulting groups, ensuring an education foundation
that resonates with people through a feedback loop.

By continuing to evolve and adapt its educational
offerings, KIDI Academy remains committed to
fostering the next generation of island leaders and
supporting sustainable island development.
