The "Our Local Experience Activity" is a program (course) developed in connection with the 3rd grade elementary social studies regionalization textbook, allowing students to experience local heritage sites, government offices, markets, and more, conducting explorations for 3rd graders together with village narrators.

In 2019, Jungnang-gu piloted the program through the school choice project with a total of 6 schools (Junggok Elementary, Sinmuk Elementary, Bonghwa Elementary, Mukdong Elementary, Sinnae Elementary, Junghwa Elementary) and 44 classes, operating the program 14 times with high satisfaction, and plans to expand it to all 3rd grade classes (111 classes) this year.

Accordingly, the program, which previously had 5 courses, will be expanded to 6 courses, and 30 new village narrators will be recruited in addition to the existing 12, training a total of 42 village narrators.

Also, this year, to ensure student safety and smooth program operation, the program will be linked with the Jungnang Education Hope Bus and Experiential Learning Safety Support Group projects to provide the best educational welfare services.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "I hope this Our Local Experience Activity will provide an opportunity for children in the region to develop a deeper interest in the history and cultural resources of Jungnang-gu."
