Gyeonggi Office of Education to Invest 20 Billion KRW in 'Space Creation' at 59 Schools This Year

Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's Space Creation Project

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is investing 20 billion KRW this year in 59 schools to promote various school space creation projects (Space Dream Project) where learning, rest, and play coexist.

The Space Dream Project is a project that creates school spaces through participatory design led by users such as students, faculty, and parents, targeting elementary schools, middle schools, and special schools.

In the first year of the project last year, the Office of Education supported a total of 10.5 billion KRW for 30 schools, creating school spaces that reflect the opinions of the Gyeonggi education community.

This year, the Office of Education will increase the number of schools participating in the Space Dream Project to 59 and expand the support amount to 20 billion KRW.

The main projects include ▲ student activity spaces utilizing connecting corridors ▲ student gathering areas created at entrances ▲ student rest areas improved from command stands ▲ and open book cafes linked with existing libraries.

Gong Yu-taek, Director of School Space Creation at the Office of Education, stated, "We will strive harder to build diverse school spaces based on participatory design led by the users of school spaces and to realize the value of future education through these spaces."
