[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 24th that it is recruiting ‘2022 First Half Lifelong Education Students’ to enhance citizens’ cultural and leisure activities, which have been restricted due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This lifelong education course will be conducted as non-face-to-face education using online video applications such as Zoom to prevent COVID-19 infection.

The courses consist of a total of 17 lectures, including ‘Let’s Play Calligraphy’, ‘Konnichiwa Daily Japanese’, ‘Online Writing Walk from Your Room’, ‘Storytelling Instructor’, ‘Home Pilates for Posture Correction’, and ‘Complete Basic Chinese’.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Naju City Lifelong Learning Information Room website until the end of this month.

A city official said, “Considering the difficulty of face-to-face classes due to the spread of COVID-19, we have prepared various courses mainly non-face-to-face. We will continue to discover and promote lifelong education that meets the demands of lifelong learning cities and citizens.”

Meanwhile, the city won the Special Award in the Lifelong Learning category this year at the ‘18th Korea Lifelong Learning Awards’ hosted by the Ministry of Education last year, thanks to the achievements in customized lifelong learning support for vulnerable groups such as career-interrupted women, the elderly, and the disabled.

Since being designated as a Korea Lifelong Learning City in 2020, the city has been building a dense lifelong learning infrastructure without exclusion, covering the innovation city, old downtown, and rural areas, with the vision of ‘Naju, a lifelong learning city that realizes the value of people and leaps forward.’
