Gwangju Dong-gu Gyelim 1-dong, Senior Learning Playground Entrance Ceremony Held

Gyelim 1-dong in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that the Residents' Autonomy Committee and the Community Social Security Council cooperated to hold the 'Learning Playground' entrance ceremony on the 25th.

The 'Learning Playground' is a literacy education program tailored to different levels, including Korean, numbers, and English necessary for daily life, aimed at seniors who are just beginning to learn to read and write. On this day, entrance certificates were presented to 15 seniors.

In addition to the main curriculum, customized play programs suited to the seniors' level, such as sports stacking and reading street signs, will be conducted simultaneously to help prevent dementia and provide emotional support.

One senior who enrolled in the Learning Playground said, "I was ashamed because I couldn't even read or write simple Korean, and even when I wanted to learn, it was not easy. I am very excited to have such a good opportunity to study."

Kim Myung-gi, chairman of the Gyelim 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, "We will strive to ensure that residents who want to learn can do so anytime," and added, "I hope the seniors who enrolled today will not give up halfway and achieve their wonderful dreams."

Kang Hwan-won, head of Gyelim 1-dong, said, "The passion for learning shown by the seniors who participated in the Learning Playground entrance ceremony is remarkable and admirable," and added, "We will spare no effort to support various educational opportunities for seniors to take on new challenges."
