Jeongeup-si Silver Small Library Selected for Specialized Cultural Arts Education Support Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] The Silver Small Library in Jeongeup-si, Jeollabuk-do, has been selected for the 'Regional Specialized Culture and Arts Education Support Project' hosted by the Jeollabuk-do Culture and Tourism Foundation for two consecutive years.

According to Jeongeup-si on the 5th, the Silver Small Library will receive 16 million KRW in project funds as a result of being selected for this project and plans to provide culture and arts programs suitable for the elderly.

From this month until November, under the guidance of an active children's book author and professional instructors, the elderly will create picture books by writing and drawing themselves.

By sincerely capturing the traces and stories of the elderly's lives so far, it provides an opportunity for them to grow as senior authors through this experience.

Also, in November, at the culture and arts education support project performance sharing event, a puppet show based on the contents of the picture books will be produced and performed.

The Regional Specialized Culture and Arts Education Support Project is a program that supports the activation of cultural exchanges among residents, artists, and cultural arts institutions in 14 cities and counties within the province, laying the foundation for growth into a cultural community.

It is promoted to create an opportunity for social integration through culture and arts programs that reflect the local cultural environment and humanistic characteristics, and to eliminate cultural disparities within the region.

A library official said, "We hope this cultural and artistic activity will serve as an opportunity to create a healthy leisure culture and provide a rich life," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide opportunities for cultural enjoyment through operating various programs tailored to the characteristics of the region."
