France is the first European case for the Future Mobility School.
Hyundai Motor is introducing its future mobility technology education program to France. The company is extending the scope of its program, which it has previously run at elementary and middle schools in South Korea, to Europe by moving it to France. France is the first site in Europe for the global education initiative for future generations.
Hyundai Motor said it signed a "France Future Mobility School (FMS) cooperation agreement" with the Korean Education Center in France at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Paris on the 7th, local time. The agreement lays the groundwork for operating the program locally through cooperation with the Korean Education Center in France. The signing ceremony was attended by Shin Myoung-nam, head of the Korean Education Center in France, and Sung Kim, senior vice president in charge of strategic planning at Hyundai Motor Group.
Future Mobility School is an education program for teenagers. The program aims to help students experience future automotive technologies and industry changes, as well as explore related career paths. The areas introduced and the education topics are electrification, hydrogen and autonomous driving. The program combines theory, hands-on practice and experiential learning.
The program was developed by Hyundai Motor. Since 2016, Hyundai Motor has worked with the Ministry of Education to run education programs for elementary and middle schools in South Korea on electrification, hydrogen and autonomous driving.
Since 2023, Hyundai Motor has been working with the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU), and it has expanded the program overseas to ASEAN countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos. As a result, about 2,700 schools in South Korea and abroad are expected to participate by the end of 2025, and the number of students who will have completed the training by the end of 2025 is estimated at about 110,000.
Against this backdrop, France has become the first European case for the Future Mobility School. Hyundai Motor and the Korean Education Center in France are pushing ahead with the program on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and France.
The French program will be designed to reflect the local education environment in France and student demand. It will also reflect rising demand in France for Korean language and Korean culture education, and will be operated in a way that uses Korean teaching materials for the first time among overseas local schools and links future mobility technology education with Korean language learning.
Hyundai Motor and the Korean Education Center in France plan to discuss specific operating measures. A Hyundai Motor official said the signing of the agreement is a meaningful starting point for the first introduction of the Future Mobility School in Europe, and added that the company hopes the 140th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and France will help expand French teenagers' understanding of future technology and industry.
