The Department of Human Services students at Sehan University, a group of adult learners, recently conducted "2024 World Cultural Heritage Studies and Volunteer work" at Po Nagar Temple, Vietnam.

Located in Nha Trang, the Temple is the oldest site of the Dharma Po Kingdom that ruled the south-central region of Vietnam for 1,300 years in the 7th century, and is known as an important world cultural heritage.

However, however is that it has not been registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

This is similar to the situation where Lingyan Guilin Village, the world's oldest existing traditional village with a history of more than 2,200 years, has not been registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site.

In recognition of this situation, the Department of Human Services of our university has set up the "2024 World Cultural Heritage Survey Group" with professors and students as the core, and conducted field surveys and volunteer activities.

Director Wu Ddan, head of the investigation team, (Grade 4 of Human Services), said, " I am very pleased and grateful that the adult learners composed of full-time students have rerecognized the value and importance of the World cultural heritage. And to participate in its preservation and management.”



Professor Choi Young-soo, director of the Department of Human Services of our university, said, "Punaka Temple is a historic site of the ancient Zhanpo Kingdom built from the 8th to 13th centuries. It is an important cultural heritage of Vietnam and has attracted many tourists."

Professor Cui said, " We are studying the value and preciousness of world Cultural Heritage, and volunteer work together as adult learners and students, which provides us with valuable learning opportunities.”

The department of Human Services is a four-year full-time college adult class consisting only of full-time students with about 750 students.
The department curriculum includes at least two annual World Heritage resource surveys and volunteer activities in Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Students improve their understanding of world culture by directly experiencing and volunteering at World Heritage sites, thereby improving their understanding of world culture.
