[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will operate the ‘Neighborhood Learning Center Online Program’ for residents and office workers from the 7th to the end of the month.

The ‘Neighborhood Learning Center’ is a project that utilizes idle spaces within the community as lifelong learning spaces by opening facilities and operating practical lifelong learning programs reflecting the needs of residents such as office workers, the elderly, and infants and youth, as well as supporting learning community activities.

This program was prepared in a non-face-to-face manner in accordance with the strengthened social distancing level 2.5 in the metropolitan area due to COVID-19.

There are a total of 14 courses offered at 8 Neighborhood Learning Centers: ▲Excuse Me Neighborhood Learning Center (Sangdo 1-dong) ▲Vibrant Neighborhood Learning Center (Sangdo 3-dong) ▲Friendly Neighborhood Learning Center (Sadang 2-dong) ▲Playing and Learning Neighborhood Learning Center (Sadang 3-dong) ▲Kkachisan Village Neighborhood Learning Center (Sadang 4-dong) ▲Solbat Neighborhood Learning Center (Sadang 5-dong) ▲Neighborhood Learning Center with Books (Daebang-dong) ▲Boramae Nest Neighborhood Learning Center (Sindaebang-dong).

The program consists of courses in the humanities and cultural arts fields such as ▲Emotional Calligraphy, Calligraphy ▲Untact Era, The Road to the Royal Palaces ▲Life Hanollim ▲Najeon Chilgi (Mother-of-Pearl Lacquerware) ▲Food Health Therapy ▲Upcycling Total Crafts.

Students should prepare a smartphone, tablet, or laptop and download the ‘real-time video conferencing program (ZOOM)’ to participate in the classes.

Each session recruits about 10 to 15 students on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications can be made on the district website until the day before the course starts.

After the lectures, an online survey will be conducted to assess the educational content and instructor satisfaction, and the results will be reflected in the 2021 education plan.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Education Policy Division.

Jongrok Jeong, head of the Education Policy Division, said, “To block the spread of COVID-19 in the community, we prepared Neighborhood Learning Center courses in a non-face-to-face (online) format,” and added, “With the active participation of interested residents, we will create a lifelong learning environment where individuals and the community can grow together close to home.”
