The North Gyeongsang Provincial Office of Education announced Tuesday that it has produced five eco-transition education videos for use in kindergartens and child-care centers as part of its sustainable development eco-transition education project for young children.

The office assembled a dedicated task force to develop the video materials, producing a total of five clips — one long-form video and four short-form videos.

The long-form video follows young children as they encounter nature and develop ecological sensitivity through play and daily life. The four short-form videos each cover a different aspect of eco-friendly practices in everyday settings, designed to be approachable and easy to engage with.

The videos can be used for a range of purposes and audiences, including classroom instruction, teacher training, parent guidance and public outreach.

The long-form video, titled "Children Growing with the Earth," is structured in four chapters — encounter, companionship, practice and growth — tracing how young children meet nature through play and daily routines and develop ecological awareness.

The production team visited kindergartens and child-care centers across the province that run eco-transition education programs, filming everyday educational activities and editing the footage to fit each theme.

The four short-form videos each address a distinct theme, allowing teachers to select and use them according to their educational plans and the interests of their students.

The clips can serve as introductory material to spark children's curiosity before an activity, or as a reflective resource to revisit experiences afterward.

The videos are also expected to serve as eco-transition education materials connecting the classroom with the home.

The videos will be released sequentially, one week apart, on the office's official YouTube channel, "Matkulmeotkul."

"I hope these videos will serve as a practical guide for teachers, an opportunity for parents to practice together at home, and a source of pride for children — showing them that small actions can protect the Earth," Superintendent Im Jong-sik said.
