[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it will hold a contest to collect diverse and innovative ideas to be reflected in the operation and programs of the ‘7th Korea Lifelong Learning Expo’ to be held from October 23 to 26 this year.

The ‘7th Korea Lifelong Learning Expo,’ which is soliciting ideas this time, is organized by the Ministry of Education and co-hosted by Jeollanam-do, Jeonnam Office of Education, and Suncheon City. It is scheduled to be held for four days from October 23 to 26 at the Suncheonman Ecological Culture Education Center area.

The contest is open to all citizens. The contest theme is ‘Finding Lifelong Learning 3F (Fun, Future, Feel) in Suncheon!’ and it will be conducted in three categories.

The first category, ‘Fun,’ involves ideas to diversify performances and experience programs at the expo’s opening and closing ceremonies. The second category, ‘Future,’ is expected to attract much participation and interest as it aims to allow anyone to dream of and experience the Fourth Industrial Revolution and future jobs through the expo.

Lastly, the ‘Feel’ category involves ideas about expressing and realizing a lifelong learning space that harmonizes beyond generations, regions, and races, as well as feasible promotional strategies and plans to link with Suncheon’s tourism resources.

The contest period is from the 1st to the 20th of next month. Judging will be based on five criteria: creativity, feasibility, suitability of purpose, public interest, and popularity. After the first round of document screening and the second round of presentations, rankings and grades will be decided, and the results will be announced in March.

A total of five teams will be awarded. The grand prize (1 team) will receive 1,000,000 KRW, the excellence prize (1 team) 500,000 KRW, and the encouragement prize (3 teams) 300,000 KRW each, along with certificates.
