[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) will operate the ‘Dongne Baeumteo’ (Neighborhood Learning Center) in real-time online format starting in May, allowing all residents to enjoy learning close to their community.

‘Dongne Baeumteo’ is a lifelong education project that utilizes idle spaces within the community as learning spaces, offering various programs for local residents such as youth, families, women with career interruptions, and middle-aged and elderly people, supporting learning community activities.

This year, due to the impact of COVID-19, all courses will be conducted online in real-time.

The courses offered this time include ▲A virtual tour of palaces in Seoul online ▲Green life with companion plants ▲Challenge! 9 types of kiosks ▲Upcycling book art taught by moms ▲Easy-to-start hobby pencil sketching ▲Financial management for young adults, among others.

The district plans to offer about 70 courses in total, with 5 courses per Dongne Baeumteo, until November this year.

Residents who wish to enroll in Dongne Baeumteo programs can apply through the Dongdaemun-gu Office website (Citizen Participation → Online Registration), and the courses are free of charge. However, depending on the nature of the program, participants must cover the cost of materials and textbooks themselves.

Detailed program schedules can be found on the Dongdaemun-gu Office website. For inquiries, contact the Education Support Division of Dongdaemun-gu Office.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We have prepared diverse and high-quality lifelong education programs to help residents recover their daily lives exhausted by COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create an environment where everyone can be guaranteed the right to lifelong learning close to their homes.”
