부산국제교류재단의 현황 및 과제 - 학교·민간단체의 국제교류 컨설팅 및 중개 사업을 중심으로

Abstract

Most cities including Busan Metropolitan Government, have established international exchange organizations for promoting international activities as a government policy for supporting foreign residents and international exchanges. However, municipal government only has limited budget for carrying out these core objectives. Local international organization should have clear identity and unique characteristics at its foundational level. Without specialization, effectiveness of these programs cannot be achieved to the desired expectation. It is crucial for local based international organizations to expand their programs and to ensure stability in all aspects. However, In a long-term view, it is more important that local international exchange organization take a intermediary role as a platform for schools and organizations between Busan and other overseas cities. Furthermore, the local international exchange organizations should put more effort on building networks among related organizations such as international offices in universities, Education Offices, foreigner assistance facilities, foreign community, interest groups and other such International Organizations. Local international exchange organizations should work on converting from intangible information as established network to a tangible data by the digital-systematization. And then, it should take a role of share and publicize the international network information.
