Post-Corona Era Forum Held by Eunpyeong Citizen University

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) and Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center (Director Lee Chang-sik) have been conducting the ‘2020 Eunpyeong Citizens' University Forum’ through the official YouTube channel of Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center since the 18th.

This forum was planned to contemplate the essence of learning through various learning cases beyond the scope of the education system under the theme of ‘Ways of Learning to Transform Crisis’ in the post-COVID-19 era, and to share the learning methods we should aim for in the future.

To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the forum is conducted in a hybrid online and offline format, implementing ‘social distancing in daily life’ with an online keynote lecture, three online case presentations, and an offline on-site discussion.

The forum opened with the release of the video of the keynote lecture ‘Challenges of Lifelong Learning Facing Crisis’ by Professor Kim Nuri of Chung-Ang University.

Following this, the case presentations will share examples of new learning methods that break away from formal education. The first case is the platform operation example of the cooperative ‘Parti,’ where citizens can learn and experience democracy on an online platform.

Next, various learning methods attempted by the Future Classroom Network will be introduced, providing a time to consider everyday life as a learning process.

The case presentations are being released sequentially through the Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center YouTube channel.

The offline on-site discussion will be held on July 16 at the Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center under the theme ‘Seeking New Lifelong Learning to Transform Crisis’ and will be broadcast live in real time through the learning center’s YouTube channel.

The session will be hosted by Professor Shin Min-seon of Seoul Women’s University, with participation from Professor Kang Dae-jung of Seoul National University, CEO Lee Jae-hyun of NPO School, Team Leader Kim Hye-young of Everyone’s School, and CEO Moon Ah-young of Peace Momo.

Anyone can apply to participate in the on-site discussion through the Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center website, and online participation is possible without prior registration by accessing the Eunpyeong-gu Lifelong Learning Center YouTube channel at 3 p.m. on July 16. Online participants can also engage in Q&A through real-time chat and comments, and sign language interpretation will be provided.
