Ewha Selected for Education Ministry's Humanities Utmost Sharing System Project
Ewha Womans University was selected to participate in the Humanities Utmost Sharing System (HUSS) project funded by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea. Accordingly, the university will join the Future Design Consortium (organized by Yonsei University to nurture convergence talent in narrative, imagination, and cultural strategies for a human-centered future society), which seeks to provide convergence education and conduct research driven by futures literacy and design initiatives.
The HUSS project aims to nurture convergence talent with insights from humanities and social sciences and creative problem-solving competencies amid rapid technological changes such as the AI and digital transformations. The Future Design Consortium has been joined by five universities: Ewha Womans University, Yonsei University, Kongju National University, Dong-Eui University, and Handong Global University. Each institution will jointly develop and operate educational and extracurricular programs with an aim to build an educational ecosystem on the basis of inter-university collaboration.
Ewha’s project team will be joined by faculty members from the interdisciplinary major under the Scranton Honors Program, the Division of International Studies (International Studies and Global Korean Studies majors), and the Division of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at Scranton College, in addition to the Department of Christian Studies at the College of Liberal Arts and the Department of Women’s Studies at the College of Social Sciences. The project team will receive KRW 1.08 billion in funding for the next three years to develop and operate educational curricula and extracurricular programs with a view to providing a complete course of convergence education that ranges from identifying problems in the future of society to designing and implementing solutions.
In particular, Ewha will support students in completing convergence curricula such as courses jointly developed by the five universities and project-based capstone courses under newly introduced micro-majors. A variety of extracurricular programs will be operated as well. Along with national-level programs hosted by 11 HUSS consortia across Korea, including HUSS summer camps and hackathons, there will be regional HUSS expos, hackathons hosted by the Future Design Consortium, reading debates, debating tournaments on the future ethics charter, and overseas academic trips. Through collaborations with students from other universities, students will gain a critical understanding of rapidly developing technologies and foster their creative convergence competencies for designing a human-centered future that is not subjugated to technology.
