Gwangyang City Operates 'Woodcraft Program' in Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Experience Village

Operating 10 Sessions Until Mid-December to Promote a Warm Community Culture

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced that it held a woodworking program the day before in Yeomchang Village, Daap-myeon, to promote a warm community culture of harmony and coexistence between returnees to farming and rural areas and local residents.

The city plans to operate a total of 10 sessions of various woodworking programs, including making Kampo cutting boards, chairs, side tables, and drawers, until mid-December.

In Yeomchang Village, 18 out of 36 households (50%) are returnees to farming and rural areas.

Since being selected as a return-to-farming and rural experience village last year, it has been reborn as a village that prospective returnees want to visit and stay in by providing two returnee houses, one experience farm, and five types of small agricultural machinery so that prospective returnees can reside for a certain period and experience farming.

Lee Sam-sik, Director of Agricultural Support Division, said, “Through this woodworking program planned and operated in Yeomchang Village, we hope it will be an opportunity for returnees to farming and rural areas to communicate and harmonize with local residents and also be helpful in daily life. We will actively support the revitalization of the return-to-farming and rural experience village.”
