Internet is not just a method to search information anymore- it has become a necessity to many of us, to enhance the quality of our lives in economic and social terms.

We are living in a time when ICT is no longer a technology – it is a culture. And the culture deeply influences the thoughts and actions of people, just as air and water would do. Today, cultivating and nurturing a healthy digital culture is equivalent to preserving clean air, and fostering a green and natural environment.

Headquartered in Seoul, Korea, KT Cultural Foundation is a non-profit organization established in November 1990, with the approval of the Ministry of Information Communication of Korea. Since its founding, the foundation has been committed to its role as an advocate of ICT education to curb ICT’s adverse effect and strengthen a healthy culture of effective and productive use of ICT.

The foundation is dedicated to the development and promotion of a healthy digital communication culture. We support academic and educational activities to nurture a culture of effective and productive utilization of ICT for all levels of ICT users, including the youths, adolescents, and those who are exposed to ICT for the first time, regardless of their age.
