[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is launching an educational initiative to help future generations such as children and adolescents recognize the importance of resource circulation and take action in the era of climate crisis.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Gwangsan-gu announced that it signed a business agreement for ‘Resource Circulation Education with Future Generations’ with the Gwangju Western Office of Education, the Gwangsan-gu Daycare Center Association, and the Korea Kindergarten Association Gwangsan-gu Branch at the situation room on the 2nd floor of the district office.

Through the business agreement, each institution agreed to cooperate on ▲use of resource circulation education facilities and exchange of human and material resources ▲development and provision of educational programs to enhance resource circulation education for future generations ▲joint promotion and marketing cooperation to realize the value of resource circulation ▲planning and operation of other resource circulation projects.

Starting next month, Gwangsan-gu plans to provide education on proper waste separation and resource recycling methods targeting daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary and middle schools in Gwangsan-gu.

The education will be conducted by 10 resource circulation interpreters who were trained through last year’s resource circulation education and campaign project.

In the first half of this year, education will be provided to 5th-grade elementary and middle school students, and from the second half, the education will be expanded to all daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary and middle schools.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “Through the future generation resource circulation education by Gwangsan-gu resource circulation interpreters, we will think together with children and adolescents about resource circulation and put it into practice,” adding, “We expect this education to be a great force in creating a resource circulation society and overcoming the climate crisis.”
