Arirang Culture Connect (ACC) – Global Creativity Insight Project

Arirang Culture Connect (ACC) is launching a new global initiative to explore how creativity emerges within different cultures around the world. This project is not a simple collection of personal memories—it is designed to gather meaningful cultural examples, traditional knowledge, and creative practices that reflect how communities express imagination and innovation in their daily and artistic lives.

ACC believes that creativity is not found only in academic institutions or professional fields. It exists in the ways families preserve traditions, in the methods communities use to solve problems, and in the cultural habits that shape identity. Through this project, ACC aims to document these stories and share them with international readers as a valuable cultural resource.

[Purpose of the Project]

The initiative seeks to:

Gather examples of cultural creativity from different regions

Highlight how traditions, arts, customs, and local knowledge contribute to creative expression

Build a global reference archive that researchers, artists, and readers can draw upon

Promote international understanding of cultural diversity and creativity

[What Kind of Stories to Share]

Submissions may describe:

A creative cultural practice or tradition

A community-based artistic or social activity

A meaningful custom passed down in your family or region

A cultural narrative that reflects how creativity functions in your society

Writers are encouraged to present cultural context, background, and insights so the story can serve as a valuable reference for global readers.

Suggested (Optional) Structure

This is only a guide, not a requirement:

The cultural or creative example you want to share

Its background (community, region, tradition, artistic field, etc.)

Why it represents creativity or cultural significance

What international readers might learn from it

A brief closing reflection

Recommended length: 500–1,000 words
Submissions may be sent in any language; ACC will provide translations.

[Editorial Standards]

To maintain the dignity and global credibility of Arirang Global Newspaper:

Submissions must contain clear cultural relevance and meaningful insight

Purely personal anecdotes without cultural substance may be declined

Editors may request additional explanation or background when needed

ACC welcomes voices from different fields—artists, cultural practitioners, students, educators, researchers, and community members—with the shared goal of contributing to a global cultural archive.

🟦 아리랑 컬처 커넥트(ACC) – 세계 문화 창의성 인사이트 프로젝트

- 세계 여러 문화 속에 담긴 인간 창의성의 이야기를 함께 나눕니다.

아리랑 컬처 커넥트(ACC)는 전 세계 다양한 문화 속에서 창의성이 어떻게 드러나는지를 탐구하는 새로운 글로벌 프로젝트를 시작합니다. 이 프로젝트는 각 지역의 문화적 지혜, 전통 지식, 예술·사회적 실천 속 창의성을 수집하고 기록하여 국제 독자들에게 공유하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

ACC는 창의성이 특정 전문가나 연구기관에만 존재한다고 보지 않습니다. 창의성은 가족이 전통을 이어가는 방식, 공동체가 문제를 해결하는 방식, 문화가 정체성을 형성하는 과정 등 일상과 문화가 만나는 지점에서 살아 숨쉬고 있습니다. ACC는 이러한 사례들을 정리해 세계 독자들이 참고할 수 있는 의미 있는 문화 자료로 남기고자 합니다.
