The Talent Development Center Nesting a New Home in Gangjin Transforms into an Open Space for Residents

All Facilities Open... Comprehensive Plan to Operate Programs Including Movie Screenings to Be Implemented from the Second Half of the Year

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Talent Development Institute, which has established a new base in Gangjin, Jeonnam, is transforming into an open space for the residents.

The province announced on the 1st that it will fully implement a comprehensive plan from the second half of the year to open all facilities of the Talent Development Institute and operate communication programs such as movie screenings.

To shed the rigid image of an educational institute and create a comfortable cultural space, the province will establish the 'Harang Gallery' for the first time among all cities and provinces nationwide. It plans to provide exhibition opportunities for young local artists who have difficulty finding exhibition spaces and offer cultural enjoyment opportunities to residents.

The library, which had been open only to trainees, will be transformed into a cozy, caf?-like space, and a network linking the National Assembly Library and the National Library of Korea's academic databases will be established to provide a venue for local reading clubs. A reading culture concert will also be held to actively support the reading culture activities of local residents.

Movies will be screened monthly in the main auditorium equipped with state-of-the-art broadcasting equipment such as LED screens, allowing residents to watch. The signature space of the institute, the Community Step, will host open concerts with residents once each in the first and second halves of the year to create opportunities for communication and empathy with the residents.

Kim Sunho, director of the Jeonnam Talent Development Institute, said, “With the relocation of the Talent Development Institute, which was the last institution under the provincial government located in Gwangju, to Gangjin, all institutions under the provincial government have now come to the residents.” He added, “Based on Dasan’s spirit of benevolence and integrity, we will prioritize residents’ happiness and do our best to create an open development institute that communicates and empathizes with the residents.”
