[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] The digital competency enhancement education team of the nonprofit organization Sangsaengnamu (hereinafter Sangsaengnamu) visited Ando-ri, Nam-myeon, Yeosu City on the 3rd to conduct digital education in the island village.

Sangsaengnamu has been operating the ‘Island Village Digital Special Task Force’ since last year to improve digital welfare in island villages classified as education-vulnerable areas due to accessibility issues and to ensure that island residents are not excluded from the digital transformation.

This education program visited Ando Village located in Nam-myeon, Yeosu City, and provided new vitality to residents by conducting smartphone usage training (how to use SNS, mobile simple payment services) and kiosk education to expand the convenience of daily life for the villagers.

The ‘Island Village Digital Special Task Force’ is scheduled to operate until December as part of the ‘Digital Competency Enhancement Education Project’ to provide inclusive education to vulnerable groups affected by digital changes occurring in everyday places such as schools, hospitals, and stores.

Meanwhile, the ‘Digital Competency Enhancement Education Project’ is hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, NIA Korea Intelligent Information Society Agency, and Jeollanam-do, and the education is conducted by Sangsaengnamu and TMD Co., Ltd., offering free customized digital competency enhancement education for the entire population.
