Recruitment for 'Gangseo Happy Humanities School' Students in Gangseo-gu, Seoul... Featuring Famous Broadcaster Jo Seung-yeon, Held Every Tuesday for 4 Weeks Starting May 25

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) is recruiting students for the ‘Gangseo Happy Humanities Academy’ starting from the 20th to welcome spring.

The ‘Gangseo Happy Humanities Academy’ is a representative humanities lecture of Gangseo-gu designed to help residents live their lives more happily and wisely.

Since 2015, it has been regularly held twice a year and secured a steady number of attendees, making it a popular lecture, but it was not held last year due to the spread of COVID-19.

Therefore, the district organized the lectures online this year for residents who were disappointed.

The education will be conducted live every Tuesday from 10:30 AM for 90 minutes over 4 weeks, from May 25 to June 15, through Naver Band.

This year’s theme is movies. Under the theme ‘When Movies Meet Humanities,’ participants can explore human relationships, classics, travel, and more from a humanities perspective.

Starting with film critic Lee Seung-jae’s lecture ‘Human Relationships Seen Through Movies in the Pandemic Era,’ travel writer Tae Won-jun’s ‘World Travel Through Movies,’ EuClassic Artistic Director Kim Yi-gon’s ‘Classics Encountered Through Movies,’ and famous broadcaster Cho Seung-yeon’s ‘Cinema Humanities Talk’ will be presented by a total of four distinguished lecturers.

Any Gangseo-gu resident can participate, and a total of 300 people will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applications can be made from 10 AM on April 20 through the Gangseo Lifelong Learning Center website, and the tuition fee is 10,000 KRW.

A district official stated, “We prepared a topic that residents exhausted by COVID-19 can comfortably listen to as if watching a movie,” adding, “It is a meaningful opportunity to quench the thirst for humanities and broaden one’s perspective on the world, so we look forward to the interest and participation of many people.”
