Gwangju Seogu Holds 'Happy School' Entrance Ceremony at Youth Culture House

Parent-Child Growth Education Platform

Seogu in Gwangju (Mayor Kim Ikang) held the first entrance ceremony for the 'Together Seogu Happy School' at Hwajeong Youth Culture House on the 24th.

'Together Seogu Happy School' is an educational platform where parents and children grow together. It is an innovative program designed to break away from exam-oriented education and foster problem-solving skills, communication abilities, and self-direction required by future society through hands-on and experiential learning.

Seogu will operate three specialized courses in stages until December, based on a collaborative system involving educational institutions and experts.

The program is structured around three pillars: parents, children, and families. First, the 'Parent Happy School' offers weekly and weekend classes covering topics such as exploring career worlds, future education trends, and positive communication methods. It also builds an emotional support network through the parent community 'Deungdae Juggi.'

The 'Child Happy School' helps children develop a spirit of challenge and problem-solving skills through nature experiences. During the summer vacation 'Vision School,' it supports career planning based on self-understanding. In addition, the 'A.I. Leader School' enhances digital literacy and creative thinking skills.

The 'Together Happy School' focuses on family communication, hosting 'Happy Together Camps' in June and November, and in December, brings together educational experts and families for forums and talk concerts to promote joint family growth.

At the entrance ceremony, 30 parents of elementary school students from Seogu attended and participated in a 'Becoming a Happy Parent' performance. The first lecture, 'Accidental Adult,' was given by Kim Hyeil, Seogu's Education Cooperation Officer and former principal of Kumtle Life School, and received a great response.

Mayor Kim Ikang stated, "In the future society, only those who find their true selves can become genuine talents, and parents who support this become reliable guides in their children's education. If parents and children grow together through Happy School, it will not only bring happiness to families but also lay the foundation for a healthy society."

He added, "Seogu will establish a new educational paradigm that brings together families, schools, and the community, becoming a strong support where children and parents can dream together."
