Gwangju Lifelong Education Promotion Institute Announces 'Gwangju-type Lifelong Education Stakeholder Research Contest' Recruitment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Lifelong Education Promotion Institute announced on the 6th that it has started recruiting for the ‘2021 Gwangju-type Lifelong Education Stakeholder Research Contest’ targeting citizens and local institutions and organizations.

The ‘Gwangju-type Lifelong Education Stakeholder Research Contest’ is a project that supports various lifelong education stakeholders in Gwangju Metropolitan City to become researchers of their own lives, discover field-oriented research topics, and achieve effective research outcomes.

It is also an expanded version of the ‘Gwangju-type 50+ Stakeholder Research’ project, which was first conducted by the Promotion Institute since its establishment last year.

This project is conducted in the form of a contest targeting citizens and local institutions and organizations under the theme of ‘The Lives of Lifelong Education Stakeholders in Gwangju Metropolitan City.’

Anyone can participate, and it is conducted as a citizen research form where participants independently explore specific field-centered issues related to their own or their organization’s lives from the perspectives of various lifelong education stakeholders, proposing policy agendas and alternatives.

Applications are open until the 9th of next month, and after the first stage document screening and the second stage interview screening in the same month, full-scale research will begin from June.

This year, recruitment is conducted in two types: ‘Issue Paper,’ which proposes policy agendas and ideas, and ‘Research Report,’ which diagnoses problems and suggests solutions. About six research projects will be selected in total, and depending on the scale of the research, 1 to 5 million KRW will be supported per project.

The project briefing session will be held online in a non-face-to-face format at 3 p.m. on the 19th.

Detailed information about the contest and pre-registration for the briefing session can be found in the announcements section of the Gwangju Lifelong Education Promotion Institute website.

Kim Yi-gyeom, director of the Gwangju Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, said, “The Gwangju-type lifelong education stakeholder research is significant in that local residents themselves discover and promote the topics,” and added, “Through this contest, we hope that research outcomes closely related to the lives of lifelong education stakeholders in our region will be produced and linked to lifelong education policy projects.”
