Boseong-gun, Humanities Lectures Linked with Local Universities... Positive Response from Residents

Mundeok-myeon Ganae Village Continues Its Reputation as a Doctor Village with High-Quality Education Every Year

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, has been conducting a humanities lecture series titled "Understanding the Depth of 3 Bohyang" every Wednesday from June to August at Cheonsangjae Hakdang in Ganae Village, Mundeok-myeon.

To provide lifelong learning opportunities for residents, Boseong-gun started humanities lectures in 2020 in collaboration with local universities such as Suncheon Jeil University and Chosun University, and this year marks the third year of the program.

This lecture series is operated with the support of the Chosun University Humanities Korea Plus Project Group and Boseong County Office, and is themed "Understanding the Depth of 3 Bohyang" to present a vision for a happy life and a valuable future to the residents.

The lectures have received great responses as they were held amid social distancing measures due to COVID-19, which reduced residents' education and exchanges and raised issues of individual social isolation.

An elderly resident, Lee, who attended the lectures, said, "Even though I wanted to study, there were few educational courses and the distance was far, so I always had a thirst for learning. However, the teacher came all the way to our mountain village and gave us good teachings, which was helpful. I want to study more through various fields of education in the future."

Ganae Village in Mundeok-myeon is famous as a "Doctor Village," having produced various talents including Songjae Seo Jae-pil. Cheonsangjae Hakdang, located in the Seongju Yi clan village, was destroyed along with the entire village during the Korean War (6.25 War) but has recently been restored and is striving to continue its reputation through various activities.

Meanwhile, Boseong-gun plans to expand customized lifelong education by developing various types of programs in line with the increasing demand from residents, as the need for diverse and individualized lifelong education across all ages arises due to rapid changes in future society and the advent of the 100-year life era.
