'Golmok Recorders Training' Collects Village History and Listens to Neighbors' Voices, Open to All Residents of Sinwol 3-dong Until November 17... 7 Lectures Offered, Certification Enables Activity as Golmok Recorder, Possible Dispatch to Sinwol 1-dong Regeneration Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] In Sinwol 3-dong, recently selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Urban Regeneration New Deal project, the Urban Regeneration Field Support Center and Soongsil University are collaborating to launch the ‘Sinsam Village Alley Archivist’ training program to cultivate urban regeneration experts in earnest.

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) and Soongsil University (President Hwang Joon-sung) established a cooperative system to revitalize urban regeneration in Sinwol 3-dong and signed a business agreement last May to continuously discuss education matters, including nurturing innovative talents in the urban regeneration field to promote autonomous development.

The ‘Sinsam Village Alley Archivist’ training will be conducted under the guidance of Yoo Hae-yeon, General Coordinator of the Sinwol 3-dong Urban Regeneration Field Support Center and professor in the Department of Architecture at Soongsil University.

The program will run from November 20 to December 28, consisting of a total of seven lectures, and is open to all residents of Sinwol 3-dong.

Residents wishing to apply can visit or call the Sinwol 3-dong Urban Regeneration Field Support Center (Sinwol 3-dong 161-13, 2nd floor) by November 18 to register.

Starting from theoretical courses on the value of our village alleys, through practical sessions on collecting alley records and advanced courses on editing alley records, participants who complete the program and the graduation ceremony will be able to work as ‘Alley Archivists’ in Soongsil University’s documentation research. They may also be dispatched to other regeneration areas such as Sinwol 1-dong, which was selected as a Seoul-type urban regeneration activation area last September.

The Sinwol 3-dong Urban Regeneration Field Support Center and Soongsil University plan to regularly conduct various educational programs and activities on urban regeneration. Starting with this training, they will systematize, preserve, and continuously support the utilization of records of village activities that have been conducted sporadically until now.

Kim Young-hwan, Director of Urban Regeneration, stated, “This Sinsam School training will be conducted strictly following COVID-19 prevention guidelines,” and added, “We hope that the village archivists will not only record and remember the history of the village but also listen to the voices of neighbors living in the village and deepen their affection for the community.”
