[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Gwangyang Lifelong Education Center announced on the 6th that it will operate the ‘Humanities Academy Visiting Schools’.

The ‘Humanities Academy Visiting Schools’ will be held a total of 18 times until November, targeting 7 schools, with about 2,000 middle and high school students participating in two themes: ‘Life Lessons Learned Through Travel’ and ‘Judgments That Changed the World’.

‘Life Lessons Learned Through Travel’ was presented by Jin Woo-seok, principal of the humanities learning institute ‘Duballo School’ and a travel writer with the heart of a poet, who shared sincere stories based on his experiences and feelings from traveling domestically and internationally, offering guidance for life.

‘Judgments That Changed the World’ discusses the values that support our society and reflections on life through the stories of people involved in retrial cases such as the Yakchon Five-way Intersection case and the Samrye Nara Supermarket case, presented by lawyer Park Jun-young.

This program broadens thinking skills and helps with diverse career exploration, receiving great responses from students.

Director Seon Seung-heon said, “We will spare no support to help students improve their creative and flexible thinking skills and grow as democratic citizens through the keywords of travel and human rights.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang Lifelong Education Center plans to operate a ‘High School Senior Healing Program’ for 12th-grade students who have finished the college entrance exam, along with the Humanities Academy Visiting Schools.
