The National Folk Music Orchestra visited Nanjing Communication University to discuss cultural exchange in traditional arts and future directions for arts education cooperation between Korea and China. The move reflects efforts to broaden overseas exchange in traditional arts into future-generation education, digital cultural content, and the transmission of intangible cultural heritage.
On May 18, the National Folk Music Orchestra visited Nanjing Communication University in Nanjing, China, where it held a roundtable meeting with university officials. Nanjing Communication University is a specialized institution in media and arts education that operates programs in performance, visual media, digital content, and cultural exchange.
The two institutions first confirmed the possibility of cultural and artistic exchange last August, when a delegation from Nanjing Communication University visited the National Folk Music Orchestra in Korea. The latest roundtable in Nanjing was arranged to further discuss cooperation in traditional arts exchange and cultural arts education for future generations.
During the visit, the Korean delegation toured the university’s major educational and cultural facilities while examining examples of traditional culture-based arts education and digital content utilization. Discussions focused on Korea-China cultural exchange, arts cooperation, and educational exchange programs for younger generations.
Participants also shared perspectives on the transmission of intangible cultural heritage and contemporary approaches to traditional arts. Opinions were exchanged on the use of digital traditional culture content and the future development of cultural arts education materials. Attention is now turning to whether exchanges between a Chinese university with strengths in media and arts education and a Korean traditional arts institution could lead to joint educational programs or collaborative content projects.
Kim Jung-hyun, head of the National Folk Music Orchestra, stated, “Traditional arts are important cultural assets that connect people beyond language and culture,” adding, “We hope this exchange will expand cultural empathy and emotional bonds between future generations in Korea and China and develop into a model of cultural exchange that continues mutual friendship alongside local communities.”
He also emphasized the importance of finding new approaches that naturally connect traditional culture with future generations in an era where digital technology and cultural arts are rapidly converging.
The National Folk Music Orchestra plans to continue expanding exchanges with overseas cultural arts institutions and educational organizations based on the value of traditional arts and cultural diversity. The institution also intends to broaden opportunities for international artists and younger generations abroad to directly experience Korean traditional arts.
