[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) has actively engaged in environmental education.

The district will operate the ‘Jungnang Green Environmental Classroom’ for kindergartens and daycare centers in the area starting from the 19th.

The ‘Jungnang Green Environmental Classroom’ is a program designed for children aged 6 to 7 attending kindergartens and daycare centers, where specialized instructors teach the importance of environmental conservation and ways to protect the environment at a level suitable for children.

In particular, due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, the program is conducted by instructors visiting institutions directly. It is composed of experiential activities such as using milk cartons rather than simple lectures, making it a beneficial and enjoyable time for children.

The main contents include ▲‘Understanding Climate Change and Fine Dust’ class where children make eco-friendly products ▲‘Practicing Environmental Protection through Resource Circulation’ where children experience upcycling with milk cartons ▲‘Protect the Earth! Protect Animal Friends!’ where children make endangered animal pouches using discarded banners ▲and ‘Guerrilla Garden’ where children make seed bombs themed around urban gardens, promising an educational and fun experience for children.

The ‘Visiting Jungnang Green Environmental Classroom’ is held every Wednesday from 10:20 AM for about an hour, only for institutions that have applied in advance.

Kindergartens or daycare centers wishing to participate can download the application form from the official Jungnang-gu website or official blog and submit it via email (jinsil266@jn.go.kr).

Applications are currently being accepted and will be closed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope that through this visiting ‘Jungnang Green Environmental Classroom,’ the growing children will become the main agents in creating a clean Jungnang,” and added, “We will continue to develop various experiential programs that allow children to feel the importance of environmental conservation.”

In 2019, Jungnang-gu also operated environmental education 21 times at the Jungnang Green Energy Experience Center and mobile experience centers, with 2,200 participants, providing education on environmental conservation and practicing low-carbon living in daily life, receiving positive responses from residents.
