[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center and the Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe in Gyeongnam have developed a song exercise effective for preventing agricultural work injuries and are drawing attention by continuously promoting it.

On the 30th, the Center and the Gaeseonhoe distributed the exercise using the 'Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe Song' to 130 members through online education twice a week from March to August.

This Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe song exercise was prepared not only to enhance communication and unity among members but also to prevent agricultural work injuries such as musculoskeletal disorders and tick bites.

The Gun Agricultural Technology Center installed an online education program in advance for smooth education progress, provided participation methods through videos, and utilized the Agricultural Technology Center's own instructors.

Participating members said, "It was difficult to see each other's faces due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), but through online education, we could at least see the members' appearances, which increased our sense of belonging and relieved stress," adding, "Thanks to the song exercise, the pain in my back and arms has lessened considerably. It would be good to continue online education in the future."

Meanwhile, the Sancheong-gun Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe is carrying out various activities for the preservation and revitalization of agriculture and rural areas, such as sharing agricultural product packages, sharing side dishes using local specialties, reusing and recycling ice packs, and making jang (fermented sauces) by eup and myeon (town and township).
