[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] The Hanuri Senior Integrated Support Center in Geoje-si, Gyeongnam announced on the 27th that it conducted the ‘School Bell Dding Dding Dding’ program for seniors selected in the 2020 Sharing Contest Project.

The ‘School Bell Dding Dding Dding’ program consists of crafts, Hangul, and music (Pungmul) classes, designed to allow seniors to experience their childhood school life and satisfy their desire for learning through the lessons.

At the Hanuri Senior Integrated Support Center, the first class was held in August with a crafts lesson, but it was temporarily suspended due to the resurgence of COVID-19. Classes resumed on the 12th and will continue until the end of November.

Currently, the program runs three times a week with Hangul, music (Pungmul), and crafts classes. Professional instructors are invited to conduct the program systematically while ensuring that seniors can enjoy participating in the lessons.

A senior participating in the program said, “At first, I was very worried whether I could do it, but as I completed the work, followed the janggu rhythms, and was able to write the three letters of my name, I gained confidence and felt good.” They added, “Please call me again so I can definitely participate next time,” expressing enthusiasm and satisfaction with the classes.

Meanwhile, the Hanuri Senior Integrated Support Center conducted classes with a minimal number of participants to practice social distancing in daily life and strictly followed quarantine rules during classes and vehicle transportation.
