Gwangjin-gu Conducts Lifelong Learning Non-Face-to-Face... Operates Online Programs

60 Online Courses Offered at 12 Haksub Naruteo Learning Centers Through November

Lifelong Learning Program at Hakssuknaruteo Conducted Last Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seongap) is changing its lifelong learning programs from traditional in-person classes to non-face-to-face online lectures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This online lecture initiative was prepared to continuously provide residents with various learning opportunities by shifting from face-to-face education to non-face-to-face methods such as online video education, in line with the post-COVID-19 era.

This year's lifelong learning programs will run until November and will be offered at a total of 12 learning centers, including Junggok 1, 2, and 3-dong, Neungdong, Guui 1 and 3-dong, Gwangjang-dong, Jayang 1 and 3-dong, Hwayang-dong, Gwangjin Regional Self-Sufficiency Center, and Gonggan Chaekbaram Cooperative, with 60 courses available.

The district uses online tools such as 'ZOOM' and 'Naver Band Live Broadcast' to conduct online video lectures, assigning one learning manager per course to support overall lecture monitoring and assistance.

Students can participate using smartphones or PCs, and since the lectures are conducted in real-time, they can communicate with instructors live.

In July, five learning centers including Junggok 3-dong and Guui 3-dong are operating nine programs such as ▲Healing Art Zentangle ▲Real Estate ▲Humanities Classes ▲Speech ▲Chinese Conversation.

Classes are held monthly with different themes, and residents wishing to participate can register online through the lifelong education portal on the Gwangjin-gu website starting two weeks before each program begins.

For program details and inquiries, please contact the Gwangjin-gu website or the Gwangjin-gu Education Support Division.

Kim Seongap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “The temporary suspension of learning centers in each neighborhood due to COVID-19 must have been disappointing for residents. By operating online courses in line with the post-COVID-19 era, we aim to provide residents with more diverse learning opportunities.”
