The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Creative Content Agency, and the Game Culture Foundation announced on August 24 that they are seeking host organizations for the latter half of the '2026 Guardian Game Literacy Education' program. This initiative aims to help guardians properly understand gaming and foster healthy communication with their children. It is designed to cultivate a balanced perspective on gaming, encourage healthy habits, and improve understanding of the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

This year, the scope has expanded beyond the standard parent demographic to include parents of toddlers. By tailoring the content to specific age groups, the program focuses on enhancing guidance skills suitable for different developmental stages. In particular, the second half of the year will see an increased emphasis on AI, keeping pace with current digital trends. Topics such as 'Youth Game Culture in the AI Era' and 'Understanding and Utilizing AI Ethics' have been added to help participants navigate the future of gaming and AI integration.

The curriculum is delivered through various formats, including lectures, hands-on experiences, practical training, and consultation-linked sessions. For parents of older children, topics range from communication strategies and healthy usage guidance to game-related career paths and EdTech. For parents of toddlers, the program provides insights into developmental characteristics, play-based learning, and interactive activities using specialized teaching materials.

In addition, the hands-on sessions feature digital and board games, while the practical track offers a guide on managing children’s gaming habits. Participants can also access consultation services to help improve parent-child relationships regarding screen time. The program is open to organizations, schools, and companies nationwide, with professional instructors available for both on-site visits and online sessions. Interested parties can apply via the Game Culture Education Center website, with specific dates and operational details to be finalised through direct consultation.

Yoo Byung-han, Chairman of the Game Culture Foundation, stated, "Amidst the rapid evolution of AI and digital technologies, we plan to expand our AI-related modules to ensure guardians can better understand modern game culture and stay connected with their children." Yoo Byung-han added, "We remain committed to supporting guardians so they can foster a healthier gaming culture at home."
