[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun is recruiting students for the ‘2022 2nd Semester Gijang-gun Citizen University and Gijang-gun Citizen Language School’ for three days from the 8th to the 10th.

Gijang-gun Citizen University offers 38 programs ranging from various hobby and cultural programs such as colored pencil sketching and library volunteer activities to certification courses.

With the full lifting of social distancing, practical programs that had not been conducted so far, such as cooking classes and drone piloting, will be offered as enjoyable and experiential courses, along with humanities programs that allow participants to experience various elements of humanities in daily life.

Gijang-gun Citizen Language School offers 50 programs, including language courses at different levels in English, Japanese, and Chinese, as well as courses on understanding official language proficiency tests.

The Citizen Language School programs have developed various courses that combine the digital era with lifelong education.

Courses using the metaverse for language learning and virtual language travel courses introducing Gijang-gun in foreign languages are expected to further enhance learners’ interest by matching digital platforms with language education.

To facilitate a return to daily life following the full lifting of social distancing, this semester has significantly increased face-to-face programs, with only some classes conducted online via ZOOM.

The courses will run for 10 weeks from the 27th to September 5th, and adults aged 20 or older residing in Gijang-gun as of the application date are eligible to apply.

Gijang-gun Citizen University also accepts working professionals located in Gijang-gun, who must submit a certificate of employment.

A Gijang-gun official said, “We hope that residents exhausted by COVID-19 can find the joy of learning and peace of mind through these courses,” adding, “We will continue to improve the quality and value of the courses by developing new programs and nurturing experts in response to the changing environment.”
