Kangwon Land Inc Convenes 150 Educators and Officials on Youth Gambling Prevention in Gangwon
Kangwon Land Inc hosted 150 teachers, police and counsellors in mid-September to extend a Jeongseon school prevention model province-wide. KLACC shared materials developed since 2007; participants agreed to deepen cooperation. The operator of South Korea’s only locals-allowed casino pledged support for expanded school programmes.
SCCG Take — This multi-agency format converts CSR spend into enforceable local prevention networks. Operators facing youth-risk scrutiny should replicate the model to align compliance with community stakeholders.
South Korean casino operator Kangwon Land Inc assembled about 150 teachers, police officers and counsellors for a youth gambling-prevention event in Gangwon province. The gathering took place in mid-September and was jointly run by the Kangwon Land Addiction Care Center (KLACC) and the Kangwon Land Social Contribution Foundation.
The provincial education office, police agency and Korea Problem Gambling Agency participated, as reported by GGRAsia. Attendees examined ways to expand a school-based prevention model already in use in the Jeongseon area to additional schools throughout the province.
Programme Content and Agency Coordination
Sessions covered identification of youth gambling warning signs, methods of early intervention, counselling approaches and pathways to specialist referrals. KLACC presented examples of classroom activities developed from its work creating educational materials and delivering training since 2007.
Kangwon Land Inc operates the sole South Korean casino licensed to accept local customers. The Kangwon Land resort opened in 2000 on the site of a former coal mine in Jeongseon County, a highland district three hours east of Seoul. The involved organisations stated their intent to intensify cooperation on prevention measures across Gangwon province. The operator committed to backing broader rollout of the school programmes developed with its partner agencies.
Forward Path for Provincial Collaboration
The structured exchange demonstrates a concrete mechanism for aligning operator resources with public-sector prevention mandates. Regulators and casino licensees elsewhere may examine how such targeted partnerships convert corporate social responsibility budgets into measurable inter-agency protocols without expanding gaming access.
