Gwangju Nam-gu (District Mayor Kim Byungnae) announced on the 14th that it will operate hands-on digital device training throughout the year starting next month, allowing residents to learn how to use smart devices and make daily life more convenient.

This program aims to bridge the digital divide by offering hands-on experiences with various smart devices to residents who have difficulty using them.

The visiting digital device hands-on training will be held for 10 months, from next month until November. If five or more residents apply for the training, instructors will visit local senior centers, welfare centers, or administrative welfare centers where the applicants are gathered and provide on-site education.

To ensure the smooth operation of the visiting digital device hands-on training, Nam-gu will hold a preliminary training session with 12 instructors in the district office's 6th-floor conference room on the 24th, where they will practice customized teaching methods for residents who are digitally vulnerable.

The instructors will begin teaching in February, and participants will learn how to use kiosks commonly found in cafes, restaurants, and banks, as well as basic smartphone functions and health-related app usage.

The visiting digital device hands-on training is expected to be held about three times a month, and applications for trainees will be accepted throughout the year.

Residents who wish to participate in the digital device hands-on training should form a group of five or more and register by phone with the Nam-gu Office Public Relations Department.
