Recruitment of Participants for the 'SongpaSsaem Online Village Textbook' Production Contest

Utilized as Songpa Innovation Education District Village Curriculum Textbook... Opportunity to Inform Local Community from Residents' Perspective

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is recruiting participants for the 'Songpa Saem Online Village Textbook' production contest until April 16.

The 'Songpa Saem Online Village Textbook' refers to video content that can interestingly convey various local information such as Songpa-gu's environment, industry, cultural assets, landmarks, and notable figures.

In response to the rapidly increasing demand for non-face-to-face education due to COVID-19, there has been a strong call to easily share unique information exclusive to Songpa-gu.

Accordingly, this year, as a new project of the 'Songpa Innovation Education District,' the district is holding a contest to allow residents and village instructors who know the local community well and have affection for it to form teams and create textbooks.

Based on the village textbook production contest, it is expected that various aspects of Songpa can be shared from the perspective of general residents, including students and tourists.

This contest will proceed in the order of ▲first selection through a written review of the production plan (about 15 teams) ▲education on video production techniques and copyright for the selected teams, followed by team networking sessions.

Additionally, monitoring during the production process will identify difficulties, and expert consultation will be provided if necessary. Completed textbooks will be evaluated for completeness and creativity, and outstanding works will be awarded prizes up to 3 million KRW.

Detailed information and application methods can be found on the Songpa-gu Office website, and teams wishing to produce textbooks can apply by email (edu2360@songpa.go.kr) by April 16.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “In a situation where it is very difficult to select high-quality online content, the 'Online Village Textbooks' produced directly by residents will present a unique perspective showing the true face of Songpa.” He added, “I hope many residents who know and love Songpa will participate and that this will be an opportunity for neighbors and many others to share stories about our local community.”

Meanwhile, Songpa-gu opened the Songpa Saem Online Portal last January, providing integrated educational information such as the Future Education Center and the Person Library. Currently, about 100 educational contents are uploaded to support non-face-to-face education.

The online village textbooks produced this time will also be uploaded to the Songpa Saem Online Portal, making them easily accessible to anyone, including residents and tourists, as well as for elementary and middle school village curriculum classes.
