[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County has taken steps to enhance the vitality of rural seniors by fostering the professional skills of agricultural workers in the field of lifestyle improvement.

On the 10th, Hampyeong County in Jeonnam announced that it will operate a "Level 2 Silver Cognitive Play Instructor Certification Course" for five days starting from the 9th, targeting about 40 members of the Hampyeong County Lifestyle Improvement Association and others.

Earlier, last month, the county conducted recruitment for students among agricultural workers in the area, including members of the Hampyeong County Lifestyle Improvement Association, and selected about 40 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

The education program consists of a total of five sessions with various programs such as dementia prevention exercises, laughter therapy, and silver cognitive play, expected to revitalize the social activities of seniors whose external activities have been restricted due to COVID-19.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, "We plan to engage in talent donation activities at senior centers with lifestyle improvement members who obtain the certification in the future," adding, "We will also provide various training opportunities so that the trainees can become professional instructors in elderly fields such as dementia."
