Gwangju Seo-gu 'Ecological Library Exploration Team' Childcare Center First-Come, First-Served Enrollment

Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Ikang) announced on the 14th that it will recruit 20 daycare centers on a first-come, first-served basis to participate in the Ecological Library Exploration Team.

Designated as an excellent environmental education program by the Ministry of Environment, the ‘Ecological Library Exploration Team’ is a library ecological field trip program where children learn the necessity of nature conservation through nature observation at the Children’s Ecological Learning Library and Pungam Sports Park. Since 2021, it has received high praise with over 1,170 children from 68 institutions participating.

The program is conducted every Wednesday at 10 a.m. from next month until November (excluding July and August) for up to 20 children aged 6 to 7 from daycare centers located in Seo-gu.

It operates in four courses tailored to the seasonal environment of Pungam Sports Park: ▲ Spring Flowers Blooming (April-May) ▲ Bees Buzzing (June) ▲ Trees Growing Fast (September) ▲ Leaves and Hopping (October).

Applications can be submitted by filling out the relevant documents on the Seo-gu Integrated Library website and sending them via email. However, since the program includes outdoor activities, it requires at least two supervisors to accompany the children, and each daycare center can participate only once.
