[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Buan-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 3rd that it has been selected for the 'Humanities on the Road' contest project hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korean Library Association for the 8th consecutive year, receiving 10 million won in national funding.

According to the county, Humanities on the Road is a project promoted to contribute to the spread of spontaneous humanities activities through various programs linked with books, lectures, and explorations, and to satisfy the cultural demands of local residents with libraries as a base.

The county-run library conducting the project will operate a program called 'Buan-eul Tamhada' from the 6th to September 14, consisting of a total of 10 sessions over 3 phases including lectures, explorations, and follow-up meetings.

However, the library plans to reduce the number of participants to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The first phase will feature Western painting professor Park Bang-young giving lectures and explorations on the theme 'What do we see?' on the 6th, 13th, and 21st.

A county official said, "This humanities lecture will serve as an opportunity to consider countermeasures together so that residents can communicate and empathize with each other amid the COVID-19 crisis."

For more details, inquiries can be made through the county website bulletin board or Buan County Library.
