Gwangju Buk-gu Selected as Gwangju Representative Institution in Cultural Heritage Administration Contest

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 17th that it was selected as Gwangju's representative institution in the '2020 Cultural Heritage Enjoyment Program for Vulnerable Groups' contest hosted by the Cultural Heritage Administration, securing 160 million KRW in national funding.

This contest was prepared to provide customized viewing services to socially vulnerable groups who have difficulty accessing cultural heritage and have fewer opportunities to enjoy it.

Accordingly, Buk-gu will operate a one-stop cultural program combining transportation, viewing, and experience for about 500 people with disabilities and their families, who are culturally marginalized, together with the project executing institution 'Buk-gu House of Culture' from next month until October.

The program is conducted under the theme of 'Picnic' and includes 'Spring Picnic Hand in Hand,' exploring the Mudeungsan Urban Cultural Zone and Lake Ecological Park; 'Summer Picnic Full of Laughter,' enjoying a 1-night 2-day camp at places like Chunghyo Village; and 'Autumn Picnic Together,' experiencing museums and art galleries located in the Jungoe Park Cultural and Arts Belt.

Buk-gu plans to further spread the value of the region's unique cultural heritage and contribute to tourism revitalization through this project.

District Mayor Moon In said, "I hope this project will help alleviate cultural exclusion for vulnerable groups with socio-economic constraints even a little," and added, "We will continue to strive to realize cultural equality that all residents can enjoy."
