[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) will conduct the 'Jongno Village Academy' education online on the 19th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to prevent infection in line with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This event was planned to meet residents' demand for village community education and to listen to the voices of village activists through a video forum.

Jongno-gu plans to provide a meaningful education under the theme of “How to live wisely and happily in the village during the COVID-19 era,” offering residents the opportunity to grow as village activists and village activists to develop as community activists.

This Village Academy will proceed from 10 a.m. with ▲Part 1 Village Lecture ▲Part 2 Village Forum in sequence.

In Part 1, Professor Kim Seung-soo of Chung-Ang University will lecture on how to live in the village during the COVID-19 era. Part 2 Village Forum, themed “The Past-Present-Future of Village Communities,” will feature a discussion led by Professor Kim Seung-soo as the chairperson along with several village activists. It will cover the changed appearance of village communities due to COVID-19, our attitude toward coping with changes, and a Q&A session on the lecture.

The education will be conducted via real-time streaming using YouTube and Zoom, and any interested Jongno-gu resident can attend free of charge.

To participate, applicants must provide their name, date of birth, address, and contact information and apply through one of the following: ▲Naver Form ▲Email (jinhee64@seoul.go.kr) ▲or the Department of Autonomous Administration by phone.

The district plans to offer benefits such as additional points when applying for the 2021 Jongno-gu Village Community Contest project only to those who complete the course.

Meanwhile, last May, Jongno-gu also operated the “2019 Village Academy” to strengthen residents’ capabilities and revitalize the community. About 190 residents and staff participated, attending special lectures on village communities and visiting excellent villages (Hwaseong City Haenggung-dong Mural Village).

This year, through the 2020 Village Community Resident Contest project, a total of 54 projects have been selected and are underway, including 19 Our Village Support Projects such as “Creating a Filundong Alley that Residents Frequently Visit and Want to Walk Together,” 30 Neighbor-Making Projects such as “Muak Second Kitchen,” and 5 Alley & Youth-Making Projects such as “Changsin-dong Radio Station Dum.”

Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “This Village Academy education was prepared to enhance residents’ understanding of village communities. For residents’ safety, lectures and forums will be conducted in real-time online education format, providing a time to discuss the future direction of village communities together. We will continue to communicate with residents and create a happy community culture together with neighbors.”
