[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyumsu) will officially operate autonomous community center lecture programs online starting next month.

This lecture program was resumed with the purpose of providing cultural services to residents exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. All autonomous community center programs had been completely suspended since February last year to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The programs will be held via an online video conferencing system. Before resuming the lectures, the district conducted a one-month pilot operation. They plan to review any issues that occurred during this period and prepare improvements. The pilot lecture is a yoga class, and Suyu 3-dong and Ui-dong, which showed high interest in a prior survey of existing students, were selected.

The number of participants is 35, and the tuition fee is 20,000 KRW.

Programs to be resumed by each dong will be selected through the review of the local residents' autonomous committee. Among the existing 268 programs, the district decided to open all lectures that can be conducted in a non-face-to-face manner. Residents with a history of enrollment will receive opening notification text messages. Applications will be available from mid-month at the resident centers and the district’s Neulbaeumteo website, with tuition fees remaining the same as before. For more details, please contact the resident center of your address dong.

Mayor Park Kyumsu of Gangbuk-gu said, “I hope the autonomous community center online lectures will help provide opportunities for cultural enjoyment to residents of various age groups,” and added, “We will continue to increase non-face-to-face autonomous community center programs that meet residents’ needs in the COVID era.”
