[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will hold a special lecture inviting a notable figure to help citizens overcome depression and anxiety caused by COVID-19.

The special lecture will be held on the 11th at 1 PM in the International Conference Hall on the 12th floor of City Hall. The lecture will be given by Choi Jae-cheon, Chairperson of the COVID-19 Daily Recovery Committee.

Chairperson Choi Jae-cheon is a distinguished professor in the Department of Eco-Science at Ewha Womans University, an ecologist and animal behaviorist, who has gained much attention through appearances on various media including TV.

The lecture topic is "A Better Daily Life Than Before: 'Healthier with Residents in the Village'," covering ▲ the impact of the climate crisis on our lives and health and ways to overcome it ▲ suggestions for a carbon-neutral city Busan ▲ the direction of village communities for daily recovery, discussing how communities can overcome the current crisis together.

The lecture will be attended by about 200 people including officials from district and county public health centers, village health center staff, and citizens. It will also be accessible online via a YouTube channel.

The city expects this special lecture to help citizens recover their daily lives from feelings of isolation and depression caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and to serve as an opportunity to explore ways for entire villages to respond to the climate crisis era where infectious diseases have become part of daily life.

Jo Bong-su, Director of the Citizen Health Bureau of Busan City, said, "We hope this special lecture will become a new source of vitality for citizens tired of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "Although these are difficult times with the climate crisis and infectious diseases, we will continue to strive to protect citizens' health and daily lives."
