[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Children's Meal Management Support Center, operated under consignment by the Department of Food and Nutrition at Dongshin University (Director Professor No Heekyung of the Department of Food and Nutrition), announced on the 26th that it will conduct a five-sense education program for six registered member daycare centers and kindergartens at the Naju Local Food Experience and Culture Center in Naju, Jeonnam.

In collaboration with the Naju Agricultural Technology Center, the program will run every Monday and Tuesday until the 22nd of next month, totaling 10 sessions, featuring activities such as ▲ learning about local foods ▲ experiencing the five senses ▲ local food cooking classes ▲ and "Decorate My Vegetable Face" activity sheets.

Through five-sense education on local foods using 'bae' (pear), a representative agricultural product of Naju, the program aims to help children understand the intrinsic value of ingredients and develop a sense of familiarity.

After the program and education sessions, agricultural products and recipes will be provided, and families are encouraged to post activity photos on official SNS channels. Participants will receive hygiene support supplies through events, promoting education linked to home environments.

The center plans to conduct another five-sense education session on local foods using 'kong' (soybeans) in the second half of this year.

No Heekyung, Director of the Jeonnam Children's Meal Management Support Center, stated, “We will continue to carry out educational programs aimed at balanced growth and health promotion for local children.”
