The Introductory School aims to develop the capacity to solve village issues and improve understanding of village community activities.

Additionally, to ensure sustainable village community activities, the program includes △theoretical education on village community activities, △case presentations, △business plan writing, and one-on-one expert counseling.

Residents who participated in the first session on the 22nd received guidance on the ‘2024 Village Community Activity Support Project’ and the ‘Happy Dream Care Community Support Project’ and expressed strong willingness to participate actively.

In particular, Mr. Kim, who attended the education, expressed his aspiration, saying, “I want to transform our ordinary and seemingly dark village into a bright and beautiful village through village community activities involving all residents.”

A representative from the Boseong-gun Rural Revitalization Support Center said, “Since residents have great expectations and interest in village community activities, we will spare no support and education for the village community as experts in village activities.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Jeonnam Village Community Activity Support Project’ is a program that supports resident groups or organizations consisting of five or more residents living in the province.

They engage in activities to revitalize the village community such as making village videos, producing village booklets, and discovering village brands and characters, receiving stepwise project funds of 5 million KRW, 10 million KRW, or 20 million KRW.

The ‘Happy Dream Care Community Support Project’ is a project to complement the limitations of public care supply and to form a resident-led ‘village care’ culture. After forming a resident group or organization of five or more people, they receive project funds within 10 million KRW for child and elderly care and other activities.

As of 2023, Boseong-gun is investing a total project budget of 92,250 thousand KRW (30% provincial funds, 70% county funds) to carry out 14 ‘Village Community Activity Support Projects’ and 4 ‘Happy Dream Care Community Support Projects.’
