Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) announced that it will hold the opening ceremony of the ‘Geumcheon Lifelong Learning Center (Doksan)’ at 2 p.m. on August 29.

The Geumcheon Lifelong Learning Center (Doksan) was built as a new lifelong learning venue to connect various learning opportunities and experiences, helping all residents strengthen their capabilities throughout their life cycles.

The Lifelong Learning Center was constructed in Doksan 2-dong (1240-7 Beoman-ro) with a total floor area of 1,836㎡, consisting of two basement floors and four above-ground floors. The first floor includes a lobby and offices; the second floor has meeting rooms (seminar rooms) and a book cafe (Book Cafe HI BOOK); the third floor contains four classrooms; and the fourth floor is arranged as an auditorium. Additionally, there is a parking lot on the first basement floor, and the second basement floor houses the ‘Maru Practice Room,’ ‘Learning Club Room,’ and ‘Media Room.’

Following the opening ceremony, an on-site mayor’s office will be operated with slow learners and related personnel. The mayor will listen to the difficulties faced by slow learners and explain the district’s support projects. Also, as part of the opening commemorative event, a special lecture by renowned professor Yoo Hong-jun, author of 'My Cultural Heritage Exploration,' will be held in the lifelong learning center auditorium.

From the 26th to the 30th, a series of commemorative lectures will also be held. Lectures will be conducted sequentially in the fields of health (‘Herbs Good for Immunity’), culture (‘Seoul Stories Through Popular Songs’), travel (‘Italy Travelogue - Architecture for Humans, Rome’), family (‘Making Dolls of Picture Book Characters’), and digital (‘Making a Magnifier with a 3D Pen’).

The Lifelong Learning Center plans to jointly operate the ‘Lifelong Learning Information Center,’ a communication and collaboration space where various institutions and residents gather to share ideas, and the ‘Slow Learner Support Center,’ a hub space to support the growth of slow learners.

Starting in September, every Friday will be designated as Learning Club Day, with plans to implement self-help meetings for slow learners, democratic citizenship education, and capacity-building programs for Geumma Saem (Geumcheon Village Teachers).

Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon said, “With the opening of the Geumcheon Lifelong Learning Center (Doksan), a new lifelong learning venue will be established, and we will operate diverse and substantial educational programs here that make Geumcheon residents feel proud, thereby enhancing residents’ happiness.”
