Seo-gu plans to designate and operate spaces in each of the 18 dongs where more than 20 people can study as "Dong Campuses."

The Dong Campuses will carry out various projects such as operating educational programs linked to the dong BI (Brand Identity) and resident demand, connecting graduates with local activities and talent donations within the district, and discovering open learning shared spaces for residents.

Lifelong education institutions and organizations wishing to operate Dong Campuses can participate on-site at the briefing without a separate application, and from the 5th to the 29th of next month, they can apply by visiting the Seo-gu Education Library or the Largest University in the World team or by mail with the required documents.

Kim Min-sook, head of the Education Library, said, "We plan to create an educational environment with unique characteristics by operating educational programs linked to the village BI in each of the 18 dongs," adding, "Above all, we will complete Sekeun-dae Seo-gu where residents can comfortably enjoy the right to learn at the time and place they want."
