[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will operate 10 'Neighborhood Learning Centers' until November this year to enhance residents' accessibility to lifelong learning.

Neighborhood Learning Centers refer to spaces where lifelong education programs and learning community activities take place within nearby living areas.

The district secured a budget of 97 million KRW to support 72 programs at the Neighborhood Learning Centers, selected through a Seoul city public contest. This budget will be used for program operation costs and support for learning community activities.

The 10 Neighborhood Learning Centers include resident convenience spaces such as Seodaemun Senior Welfare Center, Cheonyeon Ongdalsaem, Sinchon Parang Whale, Sinchon-dong Community Center, Hongje Community Center, Hong Eun Youth Study Room, Haha Hoho Hongje Village Vitality Center, Nongol Small Library, Hong Eun 2-dong Community Center, and Digital Makers.

Various courses such as lifestyle crafts, history and humanities, urban farming school, pen drawing, cooking classes, creating an eco-friendly neighborhood, and home training are conducted both face-to-face and online.

Programs target children, adolescents, adults, and families depending on the course. For detailed information and registration, visit the Seodaemun-gu Lifelong Learning Portal (Programs → Program List → Neighborhood Learning Centers).

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “Through Neighborhood Learning Centers, the foundation for practical and lifestyle-centered nearby lifelong learning will be strengthened.”
