Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will hold the 2024 Youth Reading Humanities Concert "Bukjeok Bukjeok Book Camping" at the Gwanak-gu Office Plaza on June 8th from 4 PM to 7 PM.

Hosted by the Gwanak Future Education District, this event is designed with a camping concept to help youth and residents heal their tired minds from busy daily lives, enjoy reading, and feel nature outdoors.

The district has prepared unique reading programs such as ▲Reading Concert ▲Book Camping ▲Small Bookstore ▲Reading Experience so that people of all ages can enjoy them.

First, the "Reading Concert" will take place from 6 PM to 7 PM, featuring commentary by Seung-hee Park, music director of Bach Solisten Seoul, with soprano Soo-min Baek, baritone Chang-gyu Ham’s vocal performances, and the Bach Solisten Seoul ensemble.

In particular, to spark interest in reading and humanities among children, youth, and local residents, the concert will present "music based on literary works" such as classics and novels, as well as "music from popular art forms" like movies, musicals, and animations.

At the "Book Camping" area, visitors can leisurely enjoy reading in the Gwanak-gu Office Plaza on ▲wooden tents ▲bean bags ▲camping chairs.

At the "Reading Experience" booth, various hands-on programs are available, including ▲"Used Book Art (Honeycomb Book Making)" for children and youth to experience directly ▲and "Clay World in Books (Cactus Making)."

Additionally, at the "Small Bookstore," residents can borrow desired books and read freely.

Meanwhile, the Gwanak Future Education District operates various education projects based on reading, such as supporting activity expenses for ▲418 reading clubs across 43 elementary, middle, high, and special schools in the district ▲20 reading debate clubs in 17 schools ▲and a "Reading Debate Meeting" scheduled for November this year to promote reading culture among students.

The district expects this event to be a turning point in cultivating literacy and reading skills, which have been challenged by the recent trend of shorter content and videos.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "I hope this event will serve as an opportunity for children, youth, and local residents to take greater interest in reading and humanities, spreading a culture of book reading," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create happy memories in the daily lives of our residents."
