Elders in Jungnang-gu Learn Everything from Smartphones to Kiosks

Jungnang-gu Provides Digital Literacy Education at Junghwa, Gyeomjae, and Mangu Village Vitality Centers
Helping Residents Overcome Difficulties Using Digital Devices

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) will conduct informatization education using the Digital Learning Center at the Village Vitality Centers starting in the second half of the year. The Digital Learning Centers operated in Jungnang-gu are located at three Village Vitality Centers: Junghwa, Gyeomjae, and Mangu.

The Digital Learning Center is a project that provides opportunities for anyone to receive informatization education as part of the government's initiative to strengthen digital capabilities. It was launched to prevent innocent victims from emerging due to digital dysfunctions such as recent voice phishing incidents.

The courses offered at the Village Vitality Center Digital Learning Centers focus mainly on digital devices frequently used in daily life. Participants can learn from basic smartphone handling courses to various app utilization courses, including kiosk courses, which have recently become more widespread.

The district has previously conducted informatization education at community informatization education centers in Sinnae 2-dong, Mangu Bon-dong, and Myeonmok 5-dong. By expanding Digital Learning Center education at the Junghwa, Gyeomjae, and Mangu Village Vitality Centers this time, the district supports residents to receive informatization education at more diverse locations.

In particular, the operating days of each Digital Learning Center differ, further enhancing accessibility for residents. Education at the Junghwa Village Vitality Center is held on Tuesdays, at the Gyeomjae Village Vitality Center on Thursdays, and at the Mangu Village Vitality Center on Fridays. Detailed information such as education times can be found on the Digital Learning Center website and call center.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope that the expansion of informatization education using the Village Vitality Centers will help alleviate the frustrations of residents who find it difficult to use digital devices,” and added, “We will continue to strive to ensure that Jungnang-gu residents are not left behind in the rapidly changing digital environment.”
