Gwangyang Jungang Library, 2nd Session of 'Humanities on the Road' Program

Three Lectures Starting in June Followed by On-site Visits and Follow-up Meetings

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Jeonnam Gwangyang Central Library will operate the second phase of the "Humanities on the Road" program from June, planned around the broad theme of "Dreaming of a Better Us," focusing on two directions: our family and the village community.

The first phase of the program, which started on May 6, was themed "Dreaming of a Better Family," inviting Professor Cho Eun-sang from the Department of Literary Arts Therapy as the instructor, which resonated with the participants.

The lecture, under the theme "Communication and Building Relationships within the Family," included folktale stories such as "The Sun and the Moon" and "Baby Jangsu," followed by discussions among participants centered on trust.

The second phase, starting in June, will feature local humanities activist Park Du-gyu as the instructor, delivering lectures under the theme "Dreaming of a Better Community Village," exploring Gwangyang-eup through a humanities approach.

The lectures will be held every Saturday from 10:30 AM starting June 12, conducted online via ZOOM.

After three lectures, the fourth session will involve an on-site exploration, followed by an online follow-up meeting for participants.

If social distancing measures are strengthened, the exploration and follow-up meetings will be switched to non-face-to-face (online) formats in accordance with quarantine guidelines.

Heo Jeong-hwa, team leader of the Central Library, said, "The Humanities on the Road program will help understand what a desirable community that respects individual characteristics is," adding, "I hope the second phase program becomes a small opportunity to connect regions and citizens' hearts."
