[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government will operate a "Non-face-to-face Healing Agriculture Experience Learning" program from October, allowing children who find outdoor activities difficult due to COVID-19 to heal through indoor agricultural activities. Participation groups will be recruited starting from the 28th.

Eligible applicants are daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary and middle schools within Seoul, with 15 groups and 600 participants being recruited on a first-come, first-served basis from the 28th.

Participating groups will receive experience materials and non-face-to-face educational videos in advance and can join the education on their preferred date in October. Children can tour the Healing Experience Farm through the videos and experience activities indoors such as ▲ decorating their own small garden ▲ making potato scarecrows ▲ raising insects.

Applications open at 11 a.m. on the 28th via the reservation menu on the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center website. After applying on a first-come, first-served basis, applicants must submit the participation application form and a copy of their registration certificate by email.

Cho Sang-tae, Director of the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center, said, "Recently, due to COVID-19, on-site experiences at the Healing Experience Farm have been difficult, so we prepared education that allows children to experience healing agriculture non-face-to-face," adding, "We expect this non-face-to-face education to contribute to children's emotional development and character growth."
