[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is calling for proposals for the Village Education Community project, which can invigorate village education through the participation of various residents, from the 18th to the 29th.

The Village Education Community is a private-led public-private-academic governance concept where various educational stakeholders such as students, parents, and village experts share broad topics and ideas, practicing a living education that makes children happy and integrates into life, growing together rather than simply delivering knowledge.

Eligible projects include creative educational activities linked to school curricula, village education community establishment projects by neighborhood, after-school creative activities for children and youth, and parent growth support projects.

Applicants must be individuals of three or more residing in Yangcheon-gu or organizations with business offices in Yangcheon-gu, and teams with distinctive projects aligned with the purpose of innovative education are eligible.

The district plans to provide differential support ranging from 1 million to 4 million KRW annually per team, considering the number of participants and project scale.

Selected teams will also receive various capacity-building training such as project consulting, subsidy system education, and inter-organization network support.

For more details, please refer to the announcement section on the Yangcheon-gu Office website, and inquiries can be directed to the Education Support Division of Yangcheon-gu Office.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “Through this call for proposals, we hope to discover various village education communities so that the village becomes a learning space for children, realizing a happy community that shares the value of innovative education, ‘The whole village is a school.’”
