Damyang-gun Establishes Online Education Platform for Resident Autonomy and Humanities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Damyang-gun, Jeonnam (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 13th that it will establish and operate a non-face-to-face online education platform in the fields of resident autonomy and humanities lifelong learning in response to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier, last month, the county signed a business agreement with Trisis Co., Ltd. (CEO Yoon Hyung-jun) and Korea Knowledge Education Association Co., Ltd. (President Jeong Il-jun) to activate lifelong learning and provide various educational content in the fields of resident autonomy and lifelong learning to residents through the operation of an online education platform.

The county plans to provide resident autonomy-related materials such as the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s resident autonomy education content and resident autonomy university lecture materials by newly creating an online education center in the space prepared as the ‘Resident Autonomy Committee’ on the county website.

Since January 7, basic education of at least six hours on resident autonomy activities must be completed in advance to participate in resident autonomy committee activities, so the county expanded the education method online to ensure that residents are not hindered in participating in resident autonomy activities.

In addition, the humanities lifelong learning online courses can be accessed in the lifelong learning information room on the county website, and the educational fields are divided into certification courses, humanities lectures, and foreign language lectures, expected to satisfy the local residents’ desire for learning by supporting capacity development and employment.

All courses are free of charge, and residents who wish to take the courses can use the online education service after signing up as members.

The county plans to continuously manage and operate course completion status and educational content production.

A county official said, “We aim to increase residents’ participation by providing opportunities for resident autonomy and lifelong learning through non-face-to-face services in line with the rapidly changing times,” adding, “We hope this will help residents who wish to find employment or participate in resident autonomy committees after COVID-19.”
