[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that it held the opening ceremony of the 2nd term of the ‘City Regeneration University of Cooperation and Empathy’ at Gimcheon Village No. 1 Senior Citizens’ Center, attended by 25 students and education officials.

Geochang-gun City Regeneration University first opened in 2019 and has served as a foundation for discovering local resources and strengthening residents’ capabilities through a solid curriculum.

Following the renovation course of the Geochang-gun Comprehensive Social Welfare Center held in January, this year marks the second opening of the City Regeneration University.

This course was designed with the theme of ‘Utilization Plans for Village Idle Spaces,’ targeting residents of Gimcheon Village to explore ways to efficiently utilize village idle spaces led by residents, aiming to transform them into meaningful spaces that can improve the village environment and create economic effects.

A student who attended the opening ceremony said, “I only had a vague idea about the meaning of city regeneration, but today’s lecture seems to have increased my understanding,” and added, “Along with strengthening village capabilities, I hope that discovering and utilizing various hidden village resources will have a positive effect on the development of our village.”

The county plans to derive various opinions to recreate neglected idle spaces in the local community into new resident-led spaces through expert education on utilization methods and cases of village idle spaces, field inspections, diagnosis and alternative exploration through facilitation techniques, and a performance sharing meeting until May.
