[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Lifelong Education Promotion Institute announced on the 23rd that it will distribute an additional 15,000 ‘SafeLearn Kits’ developed for citizens in self-quarantine due to COVID-19 starting from the 24th. This follows the distribution of 5,000 kits through each autonomous district to citizens in self-quarantine, which was carried out jointly by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Promotion Institute in March.

The ‘SafeLearn Kit’ (Lifelong Learning Package) is a lifelong learning package designed to help citizens in self-quarantine find peace of mind during the isolation period. It consists of an introduction to online courses that can be taken at home, a SafeLearn Kit guide, and a challenge set for experiential activities.

To utilize the online courses, scanning the QR code in the online course guide included in the kit connects users to the Seoul Lifelong Learning Portal, allowing them to study anytime and anywhere without location restrictions. The courses include regular classes offered by Seoul Free Citizens University as well as special courses supporting those in self-quarantine.

The challenge set includes activities aimed at overcoming depression, anxiety, and stress during the quarantine period. It contains activity sheets on themes such as ‘Understanding My Psychology Through Colors,’ ‘The People I Meet,’ and ‘What Kind of Life Do I Dream Of,’ along with a transcription notebook featuring handwritten copies of the Korean Declaration of Independence and five selected Korean poems. Additionally, a plant-growing kit that allows users to feel the vitality of life is included.

Special events will also be held. After completing the experiential activities using the challenge set, participants can submit photos of their works via the QR code on the guide for entry. Prizes will be awarded through a future drawing.

Kim Joo-myung, Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, said, “We hope that citizens struggling with the loss of balance in their daily lives due to self-quarantine can have time for self-focus through learning, transcription, and plant growing activities, helping to relieve feelings of depression and tension.”
