Gwangjin-gu Operates Online Learning 'Stay Home! Experience Program'

2nd Session of 'Night Sky Stories in the City' Underway... Experience Kit Applications Open Until the 16th via Old Website

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is operating an online learning content program called ‘Jipkok! Experience Program’ for elementary and middle school students in the area.

This program was prepared to help students, who are unable to participate in various activities due to social distancing measures and non-face-to-face education, to fill the gap in field learning through online experiences.

The program is operated in a total of four sessions, and anyone can take the courses through the district website and Gwangjin-gu YouTube channel.

The second session video currently underway this month is titled ‘Stories of the Night Sky in the City’ with a science theme. It features a Gwangjin-gu office staff visiting the Seoul Metropolitan Astronomical Observatory in person and introduces the content along with an explanation of how to use the ‘Constellation Acrylic Mood Light Making’ experience kit.

The experience kit can be applied for by accessing the district website by the 16th, answering quizzes in the video, and completing a simple survey. It will be delivered to 100 households through a random draw.

Meanwhile, in September, the program ‘Let’s Learn Together About Confusing Waste Separation!’ will be held, and in November, the ‘Vietnamese Food Experience’ session is scheduled.

Previously, the first session held in May, titled ‘Jobs in the Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution,’ was viewed by over 600 people on the Gwangjin-gu YouTube channel, and 95% of experience kit users expressed satisfaction.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We will do our best to resolve the blind spots of non-face-to-face education by providing online experiential learning programs for elementary and middle school students who find it difficult to participate in field experience learning due to COVID-19.”
