Hope Studio said the event was held to provide a place for children to share their experiences of completing creative projects and encourage each other. At the venue, 42 creations, including games, animations, and novels, were exhibited by mentors from local children's centers, teenagers and college students through a 20-week palette creative workshop from September last year to February this year. About 150 participants, including children, teachers, and college student mentors, had time to experience the creations on display, exchange opinions, and interact with each other.
In the 「Palette Showcase" to share project experiences, children from local children's centers each presented the project production process and shared their feelings and future plans. There was also a 'ESports Challenge' session in which children played games developed themselves, which received great response. In addition, a booth was operated to produce various goods such as grip talk and keyring based on characters and stories made by children.
Jeon Eun-jung, head of the Sunnemur Regional Children's Center in Jeonju, said, `We are grateful to Smilegate and mentors for supporting the Palette Creative Workshop when there are not enough opportunities for creative creative activities for children in our region.' `We were able to enjoy various creative activities that children have not usually done for six months with the help of mentors.'
Smilegate Megaport and 'Road Nine' developer NX3 Games participated in the event together. Smilegate Megaport provided donations for pallet creativity workshops and Festa events, while NX3 Games provided game development mentoring for children.
Director Kwon Yeon-ju of Hope Studio said, "Hope Studio is spreading an environment in which children can develop their own creativity based on their inner curiosity and develop their social skills through collaboration with other children."We will continue to work with the community to help future generations grow into happy children with great self-esteem in the future."
Palette Festa, which debuted in 2020, is a community where Hope Studio supports children from 11 regional children's centers nationwide, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Jeonju and Gangneung, to carry out interest-based creative activities. From September to February of the following year, college student mentors and children have been working on projects to create various types of creations such as games and animations for six months, and a total of 491 children and mentors have participated in 41 community children's centers so far.
