Busan Bukbu Office of Education and Gupo Library Create Complex Cultural Space

Education and Culture Integration Breaking Boundaries: 'Integrated Plaza'

Busan Northern Office of Education and Gupo Library have joined hands to create a platform for educational and cultural exchange to support school and community educational activities.

The Northern Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Beom-gyu) and Busan Municipal Gupo Library (Director Joo Nak-seong) announced on the 23rd that they have established an educational and cultural convergence space for students and local residents called the ‘Integrated Plaza.’

These two geographically adjacent institutions agreed last June to break down boundaries and create the ‘Integrated Plaza,’ an educational and cultural space. They began planning and, after consultations among working-level staff, completed construction this month.

The plaza, covering 750㎥, is planned to be used as a place for educational activities outside the classroom, art exhibitions, outdoor library operations, and as a space where students and local residents can naturally interact.

On the 24th at 1:30 p.m., the two institutions will hold a commemorative meeting for the establishment of the ‘Integrated Plaza,’ attended by Choi Yoon-hong, Acting Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, members of the Busan City Council Education Committee, school principals, and others.

At the meeting, there will also be a demonstration of hybrid online and offline education using the newly established Gupo Library online learning room.

Kim Beom-gyu, Superintendent of the Northern Office of Education, said, “The creation of the Integrated Plaza will be recognized as an excellent case of supporting educational activities through a close cooperative system between institutions,” adding, “I hope the Integrated Plaza will establish itself as a complex cultural space that promotes communication and harmony within the educational community.”
