The training will be conducted over 12 sessions across 4 weeks from the 23rd of this month to the 16th of next month, divided into Part 1 theory education, Part 2 practical (field) training, and Part 3 implementation training, held every Monday through Wednesday via non-face-to-face online Zoom and YouTube.

Anyone who wishes to participate as a docent (professional narrator) can apply, and applications must be submitted by the 20th via email along with the application form, downloadable from Suncheon City Hall or the Suncheon City Culture and Health Center website, including a self-introduction and other required documents.

A Suncheon City official stated, “Through this training, we expect to hold an expo with narration that satisfies the five senses of participants in the 7th Korea Lifelong Learning Expo held in Suncheon next year and allows them to experience the hidden charms throughout Suncheon.”
