Hwasun County in Jeollanam-do announced on the 3rd that the Hwasun Cultural Center’s ‘Visiting Cultural Arts Education and Performances’ are receiving positive responses from the local community.

Supported by the county, the ‘Visiting Cultural Arts Education and Performances’ program is fulfilling the cultural needs of students in the area and serving as a true learning space where they can directly see and experience the region’s historical culture on site.

Instructors and students of the Hwasun Cultural Center’s cultural school have formed a Nongak performance group and are visiting eight elementary schools in Hwasun, Hwasun Jeil Middle School, and Iyang Middle and High Schools to perform and conduct Nongak classes aimed at revitalizing Nongak.

Additionally, local history education that allows participants to directly see and experience our regional history at cultural and historical sites such as the World Cultural Heritage Dolmen sites, Unjusa Temple, and Neungju Hyanggyo Confucian school, as well as lectures on village cultural resources like traditional seasonal customs, are also receiving favorable responses.

In the second half of this year, the county plans to offer a variety of cultural performances including musical instrument playing, singing, and poetry plays to senior citizens at senior centers who receive medical services through the county’s excellent village doctor system.

Kim Hyung-rae, director of the Hwasun Cultural Center, said, “Going forward, we will contribute to creating a healthy local community atmosphere by giving back the skills honed at the cultural center to our society and focus on building a community culture.”
