“Tortee” is an online mentoring program (e-Mentoring), in which business employees and
executives participate. e-Mentors, the employees and executives of companies and e-Mentees,
or youths, form one-on-one relationships and steadily communicate via the “Tortee” web site.
Through that, youths learn life skills needed for interpersonal relations and other relevant skills
needed to function as members of society.
The project to upgrade culture is to awaken the next (“daum”) generation, especially children
and youths who are excluded from cultural benefits. The project aims at fostering
“cultural competence” to enable such marginalized youths to communicate, as well as improving
the overall cultural competence of society.
