Eunpyeong-gu Recruiting 'Our Neighborhood Learning Center Operators'

Support Planned to Enable Enjoying Desired Learning Through 'Uridongnae Baeumteo'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung)'s Lifelong Learning Center is recruiting operators for the '2020 Our Neighborhood Learning Center' until the 28th.

'Our Neighborhood Learning Center' is a project to support local lifelong learning close to residents by utilizing idle spaces (cafes, workshops, small libraries, etc.) in the area as learning spaces, operating resident-led customized lifelong learning programs and study group activities. It is part of Eunpyeong-gu's 7th municipal administration pledge to establish a 'citizen lifelong learning system at the living unit.' Last year, 25 locations operated and received great responses from many residents.

If selected as an Our Neighborhood Learning Center, operators can receive an annual project fund of about 6 million KRW to run lifelong education programs.

Application conditions include ▲ maintaining a personally owned space that can accommodate at least 8 people (which can be opened as a learning space for residents) ▲ organizing an operating team of 2 to 3 or more people to run the project together ▲ carrying out social contribution and talent-sharing activities aiming for public interest and community growth rather than profit based on the space, offering programs composed of various age groups, and preferably operating evening programs for office workers and young generations.

Additionally, during the operation period of the learning center, the operating team will have opportunities to communicate and empathize with neighbors on the theme of lifelong learning by participating in meetings, workshops, network parties, and the lifelong learning festival event called Gonggam Han Day.

A district official stated, “In the era of 100 years of life, lifelong learning has become a necessity rather than a choice, and we will actively support making Eunpyeong a learning society where any Eunpyeong resident can enjoy the learning they want through 'Our Neighborhood Learning Center.'”

Owners of spaces wishing to apply can download the '2020 Our Neighborhood Learning Center Application Form' from the Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center website (http://edu.eunpyeong.go.kr), fill it out, and submit it.
