◇ Online Guri Urban Regeneration University ‘2020 Meeting Guri-dong’ Opens

The district will open the online Guri Urban Regeneration University ‘2020 Meeting Guri-dong’ on September 3 to help residents understand and participate in the urban regeneration revitalization project around Guri Station.

Lectures will be uploaded every Thursday until October 15 on the Guri Urban Regeneration Support Center’s YouTube channel with new topics such as ▲Understanding Urban Regeneration Projects ▲Local Communities and Urban Regeneration. Any interested resident can take the courses. After completing the lectures, submitting the answers to the provided quiz online or offline will complete the certification.

◇ Operation of Cyber Civil Defense Education and Sending Mobile Education Notices

The district will also operate civil defense education non-face-to-face, which was suspended due to COVID-19. The existing group education will be converted to cyber education, and civil defense education notices, which were previously delivered directly by community leaders, will be sent via the Seoul City electronic notification system to mobile devices.

For this year only, civil defense members in their 1st to 4th year, who were subject to the existing 4-hour group education, can complete the 1-hour cyber education like members in their 5th year or above. The education can be taken from September 1 to December 15 on the Civil Defense Cyber Education website.

◇ Online Animal Protection Education for Children

Starting in October, the district will operate online animal protection education for children aged 5 and above attending daycare centers and kindergartens.

The education will be produced with topics such as ▲Safety and hygiene education for dogs and cats ▲How to walk pets, designed to be easily understood by children. Daycare centers and kindergartens wishing to participate can apply from September 25 on the education website of the Gwangjin Pet Family Cooperative, the entrusted education institution.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “As social distancing culture has become a daily routine due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, education has also shifted to a non-face-to-face method. We hope many interested people will participate as they can take the courses regardless of time and place.”
