Joo Gwang-deok, Mayor of Namyangju City, is delivering a greeting at the 'Parents' Future Education Community Academy' in Jinjeop area, held at a cafe in Jinjeop-eup on the 30th.

Gyeonggi Namyangju City (Mayor Joo Gwang-deok) announced on the 31st that it held the ‘Parents’ Future Education Community Academy’ for the Jinjeop area at a cafe located in Jinjeop-eup on the 30th.

This was the seventh event of the Namyangju regional Parents’ Future Education Community Academy, organized to support the establishment of a parent network and the enhancement of educational capabilities.

The academy, held for about 50 executive members of the parent associations from 16 elementary, middle, and high schools in the Jinjeop area, proceeded in the order of △Namyangju City education project briefing △Human Book special lecture (flower tea sommelier) △Parent-child education empathy talk.

The city provided a comprehensive briefing on educational projects and held a Q&A session between the staff and parents to promote educational policies and resolve parents’ questions.

In the Human Book special lecture, participants learned about the benefits of flower tea and had time to create their own customized flower tea. Afterwards, a spontaneous Q&A session between Mayor Joo and the parents was held on the topic of ‘The Thoughts of Jeong Yak-yong.’

Mayor Joo Gwang-deok emphasized, “Jeong Yak-yong said, ‘There are many paths to success, but only one path to failure: giving up. Just because one path is blocked does not mean failure.’ He added, “For youth to realize their dreams, they must embrace the three ‘Gi’ (氣): perseverance, obstinacy, and fierce spirit. Parents must be strong supporters who help their children stand on their own.”

A parent who participated in the event shared, “Like the three ‘Gi’ (氣) mentioned by the mayor, as a parent, I will show an attitude of never giving up no matter what I try, becoming a good role model for my children.”

The city plans to conclude this year’s regional Parents’ Future Education Community Academy with the academies in the Jingun, Toegyewon, and Geumgok areas next month.
