Seongbuk-gu Flower Shop and Interior Company Appointed as 'Village Education Institution'

Selection of 16 Village Education Institutions in Seongbuk and Gangbuk Areas and Hosting of 'On-site Appointment Event'... Providing Diverse Career Education Programs On-site for Students Based on Resource Sharing in Seongbuk and Gangbuk

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) visited two local businesses?a flower shop and an interior design company?participating in the ‘Onmaeul Campus’ project on the 23rd and held a commissioning ceremony for them as ‘Village Education Institutions.’

‘Onmaeul Campus’ is a ‘future-oriented career education’ project jointly promoted by Seongbuk-gu, Gangbuk-gu, and the Seongbuk-Gangbuk Office of Education, selected in December 2019 through the Ministry of Education’s ‘Future-type Educational Autonomy Cooperation District’ project competition.

Based on resource sharing between Seongbuk and Gangbuk, the vision is to build a future education system where the entire village grows together through learning. Seongbuk and Gangbuk are being established as a single integrated education special zone, with Seongbuk focusing on university-linked courses and Gangbuk emphasizing village education institutions to highlight regional characteristics.

The two companies participating in the commissioning ceremony may appear no different from others at first glance, but by joining the ‘Onmaeul Campus’ project, they have transformed into ‘Village Education Institutions’ that conduct future career education for youth.

The representatives of the companies selected as village education institutions will operate their businesses as usual but will use their spare time to provide career education courses to local middle and high school students, delivering specialized knowledge in fields such as floristry and spatial design, as well as know-how on entrepreneurship.

The courses will recruit students in August and are scheduled to begin full operation in September.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “Including the two businesses participating here today, a total of 16 village education institutions (7 in Seongbuk-gu and 9 in Gangbuk-gu) have been selected as career education experience institutions and are preparing to operate. We plan to continuously discover more village education institutions and expand experiential sites. We hope that local youth will discover their career paths and build their capabilities through the career education programs completed in their villages, eventually becoming experts in their fields and leading the future of our region.”
