Gangbuk-gu Breaks Ground for Onmaeul Campus

Appointment Ceremony for Visiting Village Education Institutions Conducting Curriculum on the 24th... Operating Village-type NCS (National Competency Standards) Future Career Education Curriculum through Village Education Institutions

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyum-soo) visited village education institutions such as Kim Nakbung Mok Furniture Research Institute and Coffee Ganeungseong on the 24th, ahead of the implementation of the Onmaeul Campus Future Career Education Program, to present appointment certificates and plaques.

The appointment ceremony was held to visit the village education institutions participating in the project and encourage the related personnel. To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the district conducted the event by having a small number of people visit the institutions on-site.

In December last year, the district was selected as the 'Future-type Educational Autonomy Seongbuk-Gangbuk Cooperation Zone' by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with Seongbuk-gu and Seongbuk-Gangbuk Office of Education, and is promoting the 'Onmaeul Campus Future Career Education Program,' where the entire village grows together through shared local resources and learning.

Through this program, by providing learners with diverse and excellent career-related classes, the district helps them independently explore careers that suit themselves.

Accordingly, various educational institutions such as elementary, middle, and high schools, universities, village education institutions, village libraries, community service centers, and residents' autonomy committees will join forces to offer students diverse learning opportunities. Gangbuk and Seongbuk will be established as an integrated education special zone, with Gangbuk-gu focusing on village education institutions and Seongbuk-gu emphasizing university-linked programs, leveraging regional characteristics.

Gangbuk-gu planned a village-type NCS (National Competency Standards)-based future career education program together with village education institutions.

Once the program is implemented, youth will be able to experience various fields such as ▲Furniture Product Planner (Kim Nakbung Mok Furniture Research Institute) ▲Cafe Startup and Procurement (Coffee Ganeungseong) ▲Professional Librarian (Gangbuk Cultural Information Library) ▲Stage Director (Education Theater Company Wonhyang) ▲Ecological Restoration Manager (Buk Seoul Dream Forest) ▲Stage Technical Director (Dream Forest Art Center) ▲Sports Facility Operation and Management (Black Yak BAC Center) ▲3D Printing Designer (Environmental Awareness Change Education Community Gongyuin) ▲Potter (Kkokdu Pottery) ▲Space Design (Neoui Interior) ▲Cooking (Baega Cooking) ▲Florist (NE&NO Flafe).

The district will also conduct the Career WEEK+ project. Students participating in the project will have the opportunity to freely select and explore courses operated by each university and village education institution during a 7-day period once a year.

Furthermore, the district plans to expand village education institution programs into university-linked career education and startup courses to establish a high-quality career exploration process.

After promoting the project at schools and local community service centers, the district plans to recruit target students in August and start the education program in September.

Park Kyum-soo, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “Through the Onmaeul Campus Future Career Education Program, children will be able to make the entire village a learning space for life and develop the ability to pioneer their own careers.” He added, “We will actively support the program to be implemented solidly.”
