Gurye-gun, Recruiting Participants for Living in Rural Areas Program

Recruiting 6 Rural Migration Experience Participants, Stay Up to 3 Months

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that it is recruiting 6 participants for the Living in the Countryside program until the 13th.

The Living in the Countryside program, a rural experience program, is a project that encourages stable settlement by allowing urban residents who wish to return to farming or rural areas to experience it in advance, as well as through jobs, rural experiences, and exchanges with local residents.

The operating village is the Jirisan Hyojangsu area rural experience and recreation village located in Masan-myeon, Gurye-gun.

As a result of last year's operation, it was selected as a top 40% village due to the high settlement rate of participants, and it will be operated again this year.

Participants can reside for up to three months from April and participate in the rural return training program.

In addition to activities to learn about the countryside and the region, agricultural practice education will be promoted.

Participants who sincerely participate in education for more than 15 days per month will receive a monthly training allowance of 300,000 KRW.

Eligibility to apply is urban residents aged 18 or older living outside the Jeollanam-do area, and even residents of other regions outside Jeollanam-do who live in rural (eup/myeon) areas cannot apply.

Priority will be given to recipients of job-seeking benefits, family participants, and those who have completed more than 10 hours of rural return education.

Applications can be made on the Rural Return Comprehensive Center website.

Those who wish to participate can enter the Rural Return Comprehensive Center website, click the Living in the Countryside banner at the top, and select the desired region and type to apply.

A county official said, “We hope that the Living in the Countryside program will be an opportunity for urban residents dreaming of returning to farming or rural areas to settle stably in rural life.”
