Children Dreaming Together with ‘Cheongsong World Geopark’

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, operates the program "Children Dreaming with Cheongsong Geopark," which explores the Cheongsong World Geopark through play and hands-on experiences, in collaboration with the Cheongsong After-School Academy, local children's centers, and Hwamok Kindergarten.

Children Dreaming Together with Cheongsong Global Geopark.

Starting in March, the "Children Dreaming with Cheongsong Geopark" program is held once a month at each institution and consists of theoretical education as well as various experiential activities such as making chocolate potholes, landslide education, and creating dinosaur fossil frames.

In particular, this July, Cheongsong Geopark guides explored geological attractions such as the Juwangsan rock cliffs, Baekseoktan potholes, and Sinseong-ri dinosaur footprints with children from three local children's centers (Cheongsong Apple Tree Local Children's Center, Hyeonseo Kids Local Children's Center, Jinbo Local Children's Center).

Children, who previously learned about geological phenomena indoors, were able to see and learn directly on-site through vivid explanations by the geopark guides, searching for geological phenomena at Baekseoktan potholes, making dinosaur plaster air fresheners, and fossil excavation activities. They also developed creativity and teamwork by participating in activities with their friends.

County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, "We will utilize the UNESCO Global Geopark brand to provide various geological and environmental education programs to the future generations of the region, and we plan to strengthen the program so that students participating in it can take pride in Cheongsong."
