[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] ‘No Elderly Accidents, NO Accidents’, ‘Donggo 同樂’, ‘Kkumteul Kkumteul’...

These are the names of volunteer activities carried out by Dongmyung University students even in difficult circumstances.

Dongmyung University is reviewing social volunteer activities that cannot be stopped even during COVID-19 and is seeking ways to promote them more effectively by transitioning to non-face-to-face methods.

The Student Affairs Office of Dongmyung University held an orientation and mid-term check of the elderly traffic accident prevention volunteer activity, organized by the Busan Nam-gu Volunteer Center and conducted by the Dongmyung Student Volunteer Group, on August 18 at 3 p.m. in the Student Welfare Center with a minimal number of participants.

The volunteer activity is named ‘No Elderly Accidents, NO Accidents’ and this was the third orientation. Park Soon-bok, Education Coordinator at the Busan Nam-gu Volunteer Center, conducted mid-term evaluations of the volunteer activities from July to August by group and encouraged participation in a UCC contest based on the activity materials.

Twenty-five students from the Department of Social Welfare’s Nuri Nanum Volunteer Group (led by Han Seung-won) also carried out talent donation activities for village elders in Maejung Village, Donghae-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, from August 17 to 19, supported by the Rural Development Administration and the University Social Volunteer Council.

They conducted talent donation volunteer activities including ▲VR experiences, a representative technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, ▲food culture experiences with rural elders and youth, ▲presentation of August longevity carnations, ▲village environment cleanup, ▲health exercises, ▲smartphone education, and ▲village music concerts.

The Nuri Nanum Volunteer Group submitted a plan titled ‘TU-Donggo Dongrak (Isn’t it joyful when Dongmyung University and Goseong are together)’ to the rural talent volunteer activity contest in April and was selected among 32 teams nationwide.

On August 22, the university students will hold the ‘Kkumteul Kkumteul’ volunteer activity in the beauty & creative field for middle school students remotely from their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
