[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 13th that it is recruiting participants for the ‘Living in the Countryside’ training program, a ‘return-to-farming type’ program that helps people live in rural areas for up to six months and supports stable settlement.

The ‘Living in the Countryside’ rural experience program is a project that allows urban residents who wish to return to farming or rural living to experience Sancheong-gun in advance and encourages stable settlement through interaction with local residents.

The total number of households to be recruited is five. Residency and program operation will take place over six months from April to October.

The operating village is the ‘Jirisan Deokcheongang Experience and Recreation Village’ located in Danseong-myeon. Jirisan Deokcheongang Village boasts a clean environment surrounded by clear rivers, valleys, and green forests.

Various experience events are operated, including high-quality strawberry and dried persimmon production, traditional fishing experience, strawberry harvesting experience, and straw craft experience.

A county official said, “Through this project, we want to actively promote Sancheong-gun to urban residents who wish to return to farming or rural living. We hope this program will be a good opportunity to not only settle stably in the countryside but also to learn the secrets of rural life in advance.”

Meanwhile, the county has been promoting various support projects for return-to-farming and rural living, such as new farmer farming settlement support projects, housing repair support projects for returnees, stable settlement support projects for returnees, and operation of returnee houses.

In particular, to provide information on various projects promoted by Sancheong-gun to urban residents interested in returning to farming or rural living, the county operates consultation booths at various festivals and expos, return-to-farming and rural living guides, and support centers.

This year, plans include promoting the ‘Living in the Countryside’ program, rural experience education, and consultation support projects.
