[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 1st, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced that it will actively promote the Happy Jeonnam Goheung Cultural Branch project to establish a culture and arts education foundation centered on living areas.


The 'Happy Jeonnam Goheung Cultural Branch' project is a public contest project by the Jeonnam Cultural Foundation, and continuous support has been confirmed through this year's performance evaluation. It plans to operate customized local culture and arts education programs starting this month.


The main functions and roles of the cultural branch are ▲establishing mid- to long-term culture and arts education plans ▲serving as a hub for cooperation and networking among local cultural activists ▲designing and operating customized culture and arts programs ▲investigating and archiving local cultural resources ▲enacting ordinances on culture and arts education, and overall roles to revitalize culture and arts education.


The project is operated by 'Munhwa Motam,' a voluntary resident community of citizens creating a cultural city, and it is expected to serve as an opportunity for strengthening resident capabilities and realizing Goheung-style resident autonomy, as residents take charge from project planning to operation.


Various educational fields desired by residents such as upcycling education, docent education, music education including Gugak, short film production education, theater performance education for the disabled, and archiving education will be promoted, and any interested residents can participate.


In addition, by assigning a professional culture and arts education coordinator, the network enabling cooperation among artists and cultural organizations will be strengthened, creating a foundation for bringing local residents and culture and arts closer and spreading culture and arts education in daily life.



Governor Song Gwi-geun said, “We will do our best to expand opportunities for residents to participate in culture and arts education and to revitalize culture and arts through the development of resident-centered programs.”
