Any resident interested in media can apply, and applications are accepted through the Gangseo-gu Video Media Center website until April 2. However, the course may close early once the capacity of 15 participants is reached.

Starting with this education, the district will offer various media courses in fields such as media, digital devices, and film until December.

Non-face-to-face courses include ▲Media Creator ▲Premiere Pro Editing ▲Photoshop Utilization.

Regular courses include ▲Complete Mastery of Portrait Photography ▲Creating Your Own Brochure ▲After Effects Utilization, and special courses will include ▲Film Humanities Education ▲Career and Job Experience Classes.
