Anytime, Anyone, Promoting a Happy City

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 12th that it has been finally selected as a 'Lifelong Learning City for the Disabled' by the Ministry of Education, securing 300 million KRW in national funding over three years.

Under the vision of "Suncheon, a happy lifelong learning city for the disabled anytime, anywhere," this project aims to promote ▲creating a lifelong learning community environment where disabled and non-disabled people learn together, ▲operating customized Suncheon-specialized programs to help participants grow as lifelong learners, and ▲spreading the culture of lifelong learning for the disabled by participating in the 7th Korea Lifelong Learning Expo.

Specifically, to create a community environment, the plan includes establishing networks among institutions, supporting families of the disabled, and implementing 11 programs across 5 projects, as well as promoting 31 programs across 6 projects tailored to Suncheon’s policies focusing on specialized future industries, ecology, gardens, and companion animals.

Suncheon City has been dedicated to integrating disabled people into the local community by supporting lifelong education facilities and developing lifelong education programs for the disabled. With this selection as a lifelong learning city for the disabled, the city has further solidified its image as an educational city.

A Suncheon City official stated, “Following the designation as a lifelong learning city, we will spare no effort to support the disabled, who have been in the blind spots of lifelong learning, to guarantee their lifelong learning rights and to build a strong lifelong learning city where all Suncheon citizens can grow together.”
