The Korea Basketball Development Institute (Director Chun Soo-gil) held a special lecture on the 8th for mothers from multicultural families in May for Family Month.

This special lecture was held by Yonsei University adjunct professor Lee Kyung-bae for 25 mother athletes from 11 countries belonging to the multicultural mother basketball team 「Forwith2 Global Mothers」 on the competencies and parental roles in the upcoming artificial intelligence era under the theme of 「AI Age and Children's Education」.

The '4with2 Global Mothers' Multicultural Mothers Basketball Team was established by the Korea Basketball Development Institute as part of a multicultural hope project to improve health and confidence and settle as a member of society through various education, history and culture exploration, sports experience, and cultural experience programs beyond simple basketball.




The lecture pointed out that AI technology is deep in our lives in various forms such as smartphones, IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, and robots, and is emerging as a major player in social transformation such as job loss and birth, and drew keen attention by suggesting educational measures to implement at home so that children can have the capabilities necessary for future society.

Professor Lee Kyung-bae said, `AI changes the world, mothers change children,' adding, `We need to create an environment so that children can have a 'study habit', 'thinking training' through dialogue and questions' and 'small success experience in nurturing a spirit of challenge' in order to successfully settle in a future society," he said.

Jia Mei (China) who attended the special lecture said, "For the better future of the family, I decided to change my smartphone usage habits and create a good learning atmosphere for studying and reading with my son.", he expressed his feelings. Li Ping (China) thanked "I didn't know how to teach children in the age of AI, but I learned that creativity, empathy, and thinking power are important."




Chun Soo-gil, director of the Korea Basketball Development Institute, said, `I am glad to be able to provide practical help to multicultural mothers to picture their future with their children.' `We will continue to carry out various educational programs that will serve as the right guide for multicultural families who have to overcome many social problems as well as the changing times.'

The Korea Basketball Development Institute has been running a children's basketball team composed of multicultural and non-multicultural children since 2007 so that multicultural families and children can learn the value of concession and cooperation through basketball, a cooperative sport, and dream of a happy tomorrow for anyone of race, gender, and age. Since 2013, it has held the Multicultural & Youth Children's Basketball Competition every year.

It is also carrying out multicultural hope projects such as 「4Widto Global Mothers Basketball Team」,"Pastel Friends Multicultural Children's Basketball Team" and"Global Friends Basketball Team" with the support of the U.S. Powidto Foundation and Yongsan-gu Office.
