[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) will provide the “What to Do When Staying Home? Innovative Play and Physical Education” classes from March to June for children who spend a lot of time at home due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This program was prepared to improve the basic physical fitness of children who are staying at home due to COVID-19.

The classes will be held every Tuesday and Thursday for 34 sixth-grade children from Dream Start, covering various aerobic and strength exercises under themes such as ▲height-increasing exercises ▲stretching gymnastics, physical exercises using balloons ▲exercises using bands ▲traditional folk games ▲children’s yoga ▲one-marker physical education.

In particular, the play and physical education program is organized considering the exercise levels and health conditions of overweight and underweight children, and depending on the COVID-19 situation, non-face-to-face classes will also be conducted via Zoom, where instructors will individually guide the children while watching them directly.

Meanwhile, Dobong-gu has been supporting customized welfare services for case-managed children through various small-group programs such as ▲online science classes ▲forest healing programs ▲1:1 learning mentoring during the COVID-19 period, as well as conducting a full survey of all vulnerable children to discover Dream Start children.

Also, starting this March, in addition to play and physical education, projects such as ▲Dream Graduation Start project ▲Dream Childcare project ▲semi-prepared food support project will be promoted to help children grow healthily without any care gaps.

Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, stated, “I hope that children targeted by Dream Start can overcome the COVID-19 situation healthily through play and physical education classes, and we will continue to support various customized integrated services for the healthy growth and development of children.”
