[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Moon In) announced on the 16th that it will promote the ‘2020 Lifelong Learning Support Project for Educationally Disadvantaged Groups’ until November to guarantee the learning rights and improve the independence of people with disabilities.


Accordingly, Buk-gu operates a total of five lifelong learning programs with a project budget of 15 million won received through a public contest organized by the Gwangju Lifelong Education Promotion Institute.


First, through the music-based programs ‘Nanum-ui Jongsori Ensemble’ and ‘Singing Dreams,’ it cultivates the emotions of people with severe disabilities and provides leisure opportunities.


Also, by operating the programs ‘Creative Plus: Journey through Art’ and ‘Cutting, Pasting, and Paper Art Workshop,’ it draws out the inherent cultural and artistic abilities of people with developmental disabilities and promotes self-esteem and pride through participation in art exhibitions.


In addition, the ‘Five Senses Satisfaction Food Art Therapy’ program stimulates the creativity of people with intellectual disabilities using various ingredients in food art.



Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “I hope this project will provide opportunities for participation and cultural experiences to educationally disadvantaged groups who usually find it difficult to access lifelong learning,” and added, “We will continue to provide high-quality lifelong education programs that meet the characteristics of the region and the diverse needs of residents.”
