Seocho-gu Promotes Digital Convergence Education 'The Jindallae Project'

Support for Informatization and Humanities Convergence Education for Digital Disadvantaged in Non-Face-to-Face Life

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) will launch a specialized digital literacy education program unique to Seocho-gu called ‘The Jindallae Project’ starting in June.

With the Fourth Industrial Revolution era accelerated by COVID-19, the digital information gap has deepened, and COVID blues have also progressed. In response, the district has prepared non-face-to-face courses that combine digital competency enhancement programs for competitiveness as social members with healing humanities education for mental stability.

‘The Jindallae Project’ is a Seocho-type digital convergence education project consisting of ▲‘Progressive Classroom’ ▲‘Sweet Classroom,’ and ▲‘Classroom for Tomorrow (Rae(il))’. It was selected for the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s regional specialized literacy classroom contest project and is a regionally specialized project fully funded by city subsidies.

The first, ‘Progressive Classroom,’ provides digital technology education for non-face-to-face living, including how to use frequently used convenience apps in daily life such as grocery shopping, shopping, delivery ordering and payment methods, and voice phishing prevention education.

The second, ‘Sweet Classroom,’ offers humanities and cultural lectures that provide meaning to life, such as know-how to escape from depression for those suffering from COVID blues, behavioral rules to boost self-esteem, and thought-clearing meditation to dispel anxious feelings.

The last, ‘Classroom for Tomorrow (Rae(il))’ plans to offer technology-related programs for employment and entrepreneurship, such as small-scale resume writing classes, speech classes for interviews, one-person media broadcasting, and video editing.

As a specialized project unique to Seocho-gu, ‘The Jindallae Project’ approaches urban problems caused by the increase of single-person households mainly among young and elderly populations and aging in various ways. It helps prepare for a progressive and self-directed life and is designed so that anyone who wants digital-related education can easily access and learn.

This project, conducted under a total of 11 diverse themes, can be conveniently attended through real-time lectures on the YouTube channel ‘Seocho Peace Project’ without location restrictions, and all courses are free.

Also, to provide open lectures to everyone, the content will be produced as online content and uploaded free of charge for 30 days.

The program running from June to October can be applied for through the district office website. Detailed schedules can also be checked. For other inquiries, contact the Education and Sports Division.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo said, “Through diverse and distinctive digital convergence healing programs, we will spare no support and effort to provide some comfort and hope to the residents exhausted mentally and physically by COVID.”
