'Online Seuteodi Cafe'?

Songpa-gu to Operate 'Online Study Cafe' at Seokchon Lake from February 16... Open Study Space for Online Gathering, Studying, and Communication... Total 8 Sessions until March 11 to Relieve Residents' Frustration Due to Gathering Ban

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seongsu) will operate the 'Online Study Cafe Hosu' as an online program for residents during the COVID-19 era at the 'Cultural Experiment Space Hosu' located at Seokchon Lake for one month starting from the 16th.

Due to the prolonged 'social distancing,' it has become difficult to use cafes, libraries, and other facilities, so the district has prepared an online program where residents who are studying, working, or reading alone at home can gather and study together via ZOOM.

The 'Online Study Cafe Hosu' is a program designed to replace the role of a cafe-like space where people study, read, or work, in an online environment.

It provides white noise audio to create an environment similar to a cafe, and by watching other participants study, it fosters a study atmosphere and promotes motivation.

The operating hours are every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM, from February 16 to March 11. The program consists of three 50-minute study sessions with 10-minute breaks in between. After the study sessions, there is a 30-minute discussion about rest methods, allowing residents to share ways to relax and network with each other.

In addition to gathering to study individually, experts in specific fields such as designers and public officials will lead study sessions, allowing participants to study according to their interests.

The program is conducted in an interactive manner so that participants can ask and answer questions in real time while studying.

Applications are being accepted continuously through the Cultural Space Hosu blog and Instagram, with up to 50 participants per session accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Park Seongsu, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “I hope the online cafe Hosu will be a good alternative for residents who find it difficult to visit cafes due to COVID-19,” and added, “I hope it will be an opportunity for residents to network through Cultural Space Hosu by gathering together to study and share stories about rest.”
