About C Program

C Program is a Venture Philanthropy Fund that invests in social achievement in place of financial performance for the next generation. By focusing on the keywords 'Play', 'Education', and 'Opportunity', C Program supports and cooperates with individuals and organisations, fostering an environment that cultivates creativity of the next generation.

C Program manages the Play Fund and the Learning Fund.

PLAY FUND

The Play Fund invests in play spaces located within daily living spaces. Starting with remodeling playgrounds in Jungnang-gu, Play Fund has set up and operates spaces such as the Geumho-dong's local art museum and Imun-dong's children studio. Through its work in managing research and forums about playgrounds and play spaces, the Play Fund also supports early childhood education through the 'A Night under the Foot of a Dinosaur' camp by the Seodaemun Natural History Museum, and the summer camp "Earth-Loving Investigation Team" by Children Science Magazine.

LEARNING FUND

The Learning Fund invests in individuals and organisations drawing up a blueprint for future education through innovation. It cooperates closely with teachers and educators both in and out of school, investing in the student-centered experiences and systems as well as focusing on opportunities of education focusing on diversity and special interests. The representative project is 'Flipped Campus', which is established by the Future Classroom Network. This is an implementation of a new type of class model by a group of teachers, where students can learn by their own efforts and solve problems with their friends.
