Gangnam-gu, Suseo Lifelong Learning Center Opens

Opening on the 10th, located within LH Suseo Complex 1, the third lifelong learning center in Gangnam-gu offers special lectures in the music room

Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jo Seongmyeong) will open the Suseo Lifelong Learning Center (165 Bamgogae-ro, Gangnam-gu) on the 10th.

The center was built on land donated during the construction of LH Suseo Complex 1 at 335 Jagok-dong, Gangnam-gu. It is located on the first floor of Building 106 in LH Suseo Complex 1, with an area of 228.65㎡ (69 pyeong), and consists of a lounge, office, general lecture rooms, and a music lecture room.

As the third lifelong learning facility directly managed by Gangnam-gu following Ilwon Lifelong Learning Center and Gaepo Lifelong Learning Center, it differentiates itself by offering special lectures in a soundproof music room. It plans to operate specialized cultural and artistic programs unique to Gangnam-gu, including various instrument classes such as piano, kalimba, acoustic guitar, ukulele, as well as chord accompaniment and vocal music.

To commemorate the opening, the center has prepared open special lectures throughout August. For adults, there are ‘mini lectures’ such as ▲making transparent fans with calligraphy handwriting ▲creating your own ringtone ▲making lavender potpourri car air fresheners. For children on summer vacation, the ‘Jagok Seodang’ offers traditional studies like Sunja and Analects, folk games such as stone throwing, traditional Korean musical instruments, and handmade fruit syrup.

The opening ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. on the 10th, with commemorative special lectures on the same day including ▲mini bouquet making attended by about 90 adults ▲Jagok Seodang for 30 elementary school students in grades 1 to 3 (experiencing Saja Sohak, Tuho, and handmade Oranda Gangjeong).

All eight sessions of these lectures were fully booked within 30 minutes of registration opening, drawing high expectations from many learners.

In the second half of this year, the center plans to operate introductory courses (pre-opening trial lectures) and intensive planned lectures from the other two centers. Based on demand surveys from residents in the Suseo, Segok, and Ilwon areas, it will also offer humanities, cultural, and vocational education programs such as ▲Changing daily life with AI assistant ChatGPT ▲Stories of Pu-erh tea ▲Pen drawing.

Jo Seongmyeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, “Through the newly opened center, we aim to strengthen lifelong education, especially by operating various character-building programs such as etiquette education for children and adolescents, parent education, and home education.” He added, “Furthermore, we will actively cooperate with other institutions to discover good programs and provide broad learning opportunities for residents.”
