From September 7 to 9, a New Paradigm 'Lifelong Learning Festival' Held at Haenuri Town Plaza... Featuring Trainer Kang Hyung-wook's Special Lecture, 9 Special Stages, and 10 Experience Booths

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it will hold a ‘Lifelong Learning Festival’ with a differentiated approach from existing events, aiming to present a new paradigm of lifelong learning in the era of 100-year lifespans.

The event, held over three days from September 7 to 9 in the outdoor plaza area in front of Haenuri Town, is themed ‘The Joy of Learning, My Prosperous Future.’ It completely breaks away from the traditional format focused on presentations by lifelong learning course participants and is composed of various programs to expand the base of lifelong learning, including expert lectures, special performances, experience booths, and exhibitions that help explore leisure culture and second life planning in the 100-year era.

First, a plant caf? and resting area reminiscent of future lifelong learning spaces will be set up outdoors, serving as a rest area and photo zone during the festival. A special stage will be prepared at the central plaza stage, where special lectures and performances will be held throughout the three days, and ten different experience programs will take place around the plaza.

On the first day, September 7, high public interest is expected in the ‘Brush Calligraphy Performance’ by Lee San, a famous calligrapher who designed the logo for Soju Chamisul, as well as in the ‘Traditional Mask Making and Performance’ by Shin Jeong-cheol, a Korean Master Artisan.

On the 8th, attendees can learn smart overseas travel tips in the digital age from travel expert and author Noh Mi-kyung, who has visited 150 countries worldwide, under the theme ‘Traveling the World with Just a Smartphone,’ and also enjoy a ‘Hair Show’ presented by Kim Min-jung, a national representative of the International Skills Olympics.

Especially on the third day, September 9, ‘Dog Trainer Kang Hyung-wook,’ known as the ‘Dog President,’ will be invited to give a lecture on ‘Living Together with Companion Dogs’ alongside ‘Bukkeu,’ Yangcheon-gu’s official promotional dog and star YouTuber, which is expected to attract significant attention from pet owners.

At the ten experience booths, visitors can experience changing hobbies through lifelong learning programs such as ▲Calligraphy (letter art) ▲Icing cookie making ▲Hand-drip coffee brewing ▲Photo card creation ▲Woodworking experience ▲Virtual Reality (VR) experience ▲Digital caricature, among others.

In addition, exhibitions such as the ‘Regular Letter Drawing Exhibition’ by Lee San Calligraphy School and the ‘Yangcheon Digital Photo Club Artist Exhibition,’ an excellent local learning club, will be held at the annex of Yangcheon Cultural Center and the Galsan Culture and Arts Center exhibition hall.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “The ‘Lifelong Learning Festival,’ which will play a part in the Y Education Expo, will be a place of communication to realize the vision of a residential education city encompassing all generations from children to adults,” and added, “We hope many people will show interest and participate in this event where the value of lifelong learning can be experienced.”
