Volunteer Talent Donation by Community Center Instructors of Calligraphy and English Conversation Suspended Due to COVID-19... Sharing Classes and Students via SNS... Supporting Learning Passion During 'Temporary Pause' and Expecting Vitality Recovery

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) announced that instructors at community centers are producing videos as talent donations and sharing them with students via SNS.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the district temporarily suspended all cultural and sports classes operated by the district, including community center programs, starting February 10.

As the suspension period lengthened, more students began to feel bored. Accordingly, instructors who previously taught at community centers decided to create lecture videos and send them to their existing students.

Instructors of 15 popular programs such as acoustic guitar, English conversation, Namdo folk songs, line dance, Korean dance, calligraphy, and laughter therapy are communicating with students by sharing self-filmed or produced lecture materials through SNS platforms like Naver Band and KakaoTalk.

Thanks to this, students are expected to relieve feelings of isolation caused by social distancing by watching lectures at home and gain vitality in daily life through simple indoor activities.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “As COVID-19 prolongs, both body and mind may shrink, but at times like this, if community center instructors and students support and share their hearts with each other, it will be a great strength to overcome difficulties. We will do our best to help the local community return to normal life as soon as possible.”
