Gwangju Seo-gu, Public Contest for Supporting the Operation of Happiness Learning Centers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 13th that it is recruiting institutions and organizations to participate in the Happy Learning Center Operation Support Project until the 17th.

The Happy Learning Center operates lifestyle-oriented programs tailored to residents' needs and regional characteristics, ensuring residents have access to nearby learning opportunities.

This year, a total of 10 centers will be designated, one in each zone: Yangdong·Nongseong Zone, Hwajeong 2 Zone, Sangmu Zone, Gwangcheon·Dongcheon Zone, Yudeok Zone, Chipyeong Zone, Geumho 1·2 Zone, Pungam Zone, and Seochang Zone.

However, since the existing 8 zones will receive support until this year and 1 zone until next year, only the newly added Geumho 2 Zone is eligible to apply this year.

In particular, the Seo-gu Lifelong Learning Center, which opened in 2017, will serve as the hub institution and play a central role for the Happy Learning Centers.

The application requirements include small libraries, community centers, lifelong education institutions, and organizations equipped with an educational environment where 20 or more people can learn, centered around Geumho 2-dong.

If selected for the project, applicants will receive support for education program operation costs and manager activity allowances, with plans to provide support for three years depending on the district's budget availability.

Institutions and organizations wishing to participate can download the application form from the Do Dream Seo-gu Lifelong Learning Center website and submit the application to the Education Support Division on the 4th floor of Seo-gu Office.

Meanwhile, Seo-gu operated 37 programs at a total of 9 Happy Learning Centers last year, with about 600 residents participating.
