[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yongsan-gu (District Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) will operate the first session of the winter vacation youth history special lecture "Gogo Yongsan Sog-euro" from February 18 to 27.

This is to create a community where history and culture are respected.

The education consists of a total of 4 sessions held at the District Lifelong Learning Center (2.18), Itaewon Bugundang History Park (2.20), Seodaemun Prison History Hall (2.25), and Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall and Hyochang Park (2.27). The class time is from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The lecture topics are linked to the elementary and middle school curriculum, with each session covering ▲ "We lost the country but did not lose hope" ▲ "The nationwide shout of 'Daehan Independence Manse'" ▲ "Lives of independence activists met at the prison" ▲ "The country Baekbeom dreamed of."

Indoor education and field trips are combined to maximize youth interest in history. The field trips will be conducted in small groups divided into two teams. Activities such as modern history card games, wreath-laying at the memorial for Yu Gwan-sun, and environmental cleanup at Hyochang Park (recognized as volunteer hours) will also be held.

The recruitment target is youth (4th to 6th grade elementary students as of 2019) and 25 parent teams. The tuition fee is 5,000 won, and applications can be made from January 28 to February 11 through the district education portal (yedu.yongsan.go.kr). Selection results will be notified individually.

A district official said, "To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yu Gwan-sun's martyrdom, we will properly inform children about the local history," adding, "Since youth and parents participate together, it will be a unique memory."

"Gogo Yongsan Sog-euro" is part of the district's history education program "2020 Yongsan History School."

The History School operates year-round in the order of ▲ Gogo Yongsan Sog-euro - youth vacation-linked history exploration (February, July) ▲ Dreaming of the future through history - special lectures linked to commemorative days for youth (March 1st Movement Day, Liberation Day) ▲ Middle-aged and senior Yongsan history activist training course (September to October).

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, "Establishing a correct historical awareness is becoming increasingly important," and added, "Through the operation of the History School, we can inherit the spirit of Korea's independent sovereignty and interpret regional identity historically."

The district has been continuing "Yongsan Studies" local history lectures in various ways since 2016. Last year, it operated the "Hyochang Park and the Seven Patriots" lecture eight times, receiving positive responses from residents.
