Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center Hosts 'Resident Safety Experience Festival' Ahead of Chuseok

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center is hosting a Safety Experience Festival ahead of Chuseok.

The Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center announced on the 28th that it will hold a special event called the "2022 Provincial Residents Safety Experience Festival" from the 2nd to the 4th of next month to raise safety awareness among residents ahead of Chuseok.

At this event, the center will operate its representative experience programs such as earthquake, typhoon, and valley escape simulations, along with special experience programs from related organizations including patrol motorcycle rides and gas safety education (VR).

Additionally, various programs such as 4D movie viewing, photo time with the fire safety mascot "Youngwoongi," face tattoos, and fire truck making will be provided.

In particular, children from multicultural and single-parent families, as well as those from orphanages within the province who require social attention, will be specially invited to participate in the event together.

Applications for participation can be made through the experience center’s website. Each experience program runs for 60 minutes per course, with four sessions per day (two in the morning and two in the afternoon). Approximately 500 people are expected to participate daily.

Hwang Eun-sik, director of the Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center, said, "We hope this special event will be a valuable opportunity for residents, including children, to learn how to respond to various disasters and safety accidents."

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center, which opened in Osan last April, is a facility where residents can directly experience disaster situations and enhance their safety awareness.

With 9 experience zones and 52 experience programs, it boasts the largest scale in the nation and is the first of its kind in Gyeonggi-do.
