Busan's Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Center is inviting fourth- to sixth-grade primary school pupils to try a break from screens through a hands-on pottery activity. Its October 26 official notice describes the programme as a collaboration between Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT, the National Information Society Agency and the youth center.
There are two sessions: Saturday, November 14, and Saturday, November 28, 2026. Each runs from 13:00 to 17:00 in Small Meeting Room 2 at the center, 156 Hwangnyeongsan-ro, Suyeong-gu, Busan. Thirty students will be selected for each session, 60 in total. Both participation and materials are free. The age rule is grades 4–6, not all elementary school ages.
The day combines digital-detox education with pottery making. This is a scheduled offline craft experience rather than a rule that participants must abandon devices outside the programme. A practical detail for families: the finished clay pieces will not be handed out immediately. The notice states that participants must collect them individually during December, so allow for a separate collection arrangement.
Applications are directed to a QR code in the upper-right corner of the official announcement poster. Do not confuse this with booking accommodation at the center or its older pottery club. The center plans to announce the first session's selected participants on November 6 and the second's on November 20, both on the website and through individual notices. Submitting an application is not confirmation of acceptance; the QR form controls current availability and closing conditions.
Participants must complete before-and-after assessments and a satisfaction survey. Questions about November 14 go to 02-303-4647 or 02-303-2032; questions about November 28 go to 02-590-9855. Recheck the original announcement for any changes before setting out.
