Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) Department of Child Studies (Department Chair Kim Ri-jin) concluded its 'Healing Family Camp,' organized to foster a child-rearing–friendly environment in the local community and strengthen family relationships, to strong public response. The Department of Child Studies held the family camp on a one-night, two-day schedule from the 14th to the 15th in the Byeonsan area under the theme "A Refreshing Family Trip in Byeonsan."

This program was implemented with support from the 2025 National University Development Project to help local families restore relationships through leisure and form healthy family cultures.

Notably, students from the Department of Child Studies participated directly from planning to operation in connection with major courses such as Family Life Education and Language Guidance. The camp consisted of various activities, including ▲Pottery Experience ▲A Program to Improve Couple Relationships ▲A Program to Enhance Children's Social Skills ▲Family Mission Activities (meditation, sand drawing, sharing picture-book stories), which led to high participant satisfaction.

A parent who participated in the camp said, "It was a time to feel the importance of family again," adding, "Our relationship as a couple has grown closer, and the sense that our family is a small community deepened."

Jeong Ji-seung, a third-year student in the Department of Child Studies who ran the program, also said, "It was a meaningful experience in which I could feel the power of family again," and "Meeting families directly broadened my learning."

Professor Jeong Yu-jin, who oversaw the camp, said, "For families, the camp provided time to focus on one another and strengthen relationships, and for students it served as a practical training ground contributing to the local community." He added, "Going forward, we will further expand professional programs to promote healthy child development and improve family relationships, and strengthen educational models that allow students to gain practical experience in the community, thereby continuously spreading a 'university–community win‑win structure.'"
