[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, announced on the 19th that the Earthquake Trauma Center will operate a Mind Healing Farm program for citizens experiencing trauma due to earthquakes and the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The program includes ▲crop cultivation experience ▲horticultural therapy linked with natural resources ▲making food using crops ▲mindfulness meditation through food and tea, etc. It will be held once a week for a total of 7 weeks from June 26 to July 10. Those interested can apply through the Pohang City website. The number of participants is limited to 20 on a first-come, first-served basis.
