Sahakyeongeum Opens 'Dorandoran Class' for Local Residents and Small Business Owners

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] The Private School Teachers' Pension Service announced on the 1st that it will open and operate the 'Bitgaram Dorandoran Class' (hereinafter Dorandoran Class) for five days from the 6th to the 10th.

The Dorandoran Class is a program jointly planned by the 'Bitgaram Social Value Council' (Private School Teachers' Pension Service, Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, Korea Communications Agency, Korea Internet & Security Agency, Korea Power Exchange) to introduce excellent cultural lectures in the region and encourage local residents to continue using them. Five small business owners from the Naju area will participate, offering six cultural programs in the form of 10 lectures.

Now in its second year, the Dorandoran Class was selected for the local government regional development support project and is operated with budget support from Jeollanam-do Province and Naju City. To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the number of students per lecture is limited to 10, about one-third of last year's capacity, and the program will be conducted with sufficient social distancing and a thorough quarantine environment. Students will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis over two days starting from the 2nd through the Naju City Lifelong Learning Information Room.

Joo Myung-hyun, Director of the Private School Teachers' Pension Service, said, "I hope this will be a healing time for local residents who are exhausted from the prolonged COVID-19 situation," adding, "Given the current situation where cultural activities of local residents are shrinking and small business owners related to culture are facing difficulties, this program is expected to be welcomed by everyone."
