Gwangju Nam-gu Supports Experiential Activities for Local Daycare and Kindergarten Children

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will start supporting experiential activities for children attending daycare centers and kindergartens in the district from the end of this month.

On the 10th, Nam-gu announced that it has selected two '2023 Dream Tree Experiential Activity Support Project Operators' to provide preschool children with opportunities to experience various cultural and artistic activities, and will run experiential activity programs from the end of May to November.

First, Nam-gu will support Dream Tree experiential activities for 1,200 children aged 6 to 7 attending 36 private daycare centers and 25 private kindergartens in the district.

This year's experiential programs include two types: making doenjang (fermented soybean paste) presented by Bitgoeul Doenjang, a traditional food producer in Apchon-dong, and a creative art fusion cooking class offered by Urban Brook Co., Ltd.

The doenjang making program aims to increase familiarity with traditional foods, allowing participants to experience salinity measurement by floating meju (fermented soybean blocks) in saltwater during the process of making meju from boiled soybeans.

The creative art fusion cooking class offers experiences such as making pumulleok soap linked with color psychology and aromatherapy, and expressing inspirations evoked by listening to music on pizza dough using ingredients during the cooking process.

Private daycare centers and private kindergartens in the district wishing to participate in the Dream Tree experiential activities can select one of the experiential programs and submit an application form.
