Young and Talented Academy Hosting Luxury Lectures on Various Topics from September to December... Not Only Celebrity Talks but Also Residents Deliver Special Stories

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) is putting all its efforts into improving residents' quality of life and creating a lifelong learning city where learning becomes a daily habit.

The ‘YDP Young.Teuk.Han (Yeongdeungpo’s Special) Academy,’ which invites experts in self-development, economy & trends, and science & education to share wisdom and specialized knowledge in each field, and features relay lectures where residents take center stage, will be held from September to December.

The first lecture on the 21st will be given by Han Bi-ya, an expert in international relief fieldwork, who will share vivid experiences from remote and disaster-stricken areas around the world under the theme ‘1g Courage,’ and talk about the small courage of taking one step forward to find a thrilling purpose.

On October 19, reporter Lee Jin-woo, host of Sampro TV, will deliver an easy-to-understand lecture on ‘Economics Knowledge You Can Grasp.’ Following that, on November 9, Kim Sang-gyun, a metaverse expert and professor at Kyung Hee University Graduate School of Business, will continue with a lecture on the future of humanity entering artificial evolution, children’s career paths, and educational methods.

Finally, in December, residents will take the lead in sharing small but special stories with neighbors under the theme ‘The Days My Soul Sparkled’ through ‘Young.Teuk.Han Stories.’ Residents will candidly and sincerely share relatable stories such as preparing for a second act in life, volunteering, travelogues, and job challenges. Going forward, the district plans to provide opportunities such as talent donations and resident speaker lectures to enable resident speakers to continue their lecture activities.

The ‘YDP Young.Teuk.Han Academy’ will be held at the YDP Future Lifelong Learning Center, and residents wishing to enroll can apply through the lifelong education menu on the integrated reservation board on the district website.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “I hope that the ‘Young.Teuk.Han Academy,’ where the latest trends and changes can be seen at a glance, and ‘Young.Teuk.Han Stories,’ where residents are the protagonists, will create a community-centered lifelong learning community,” adding, “We will create a Yeongdeungpo that grows together with residents by providing various lifelong learning opportunities centered on residents.”
