On May 9, the Gwangju Agricultural Technology Center announced that it is recruiting participants for the first half of the '2025 Rural Experience Education to See, Feel, and Experience.' The program aims to share the value of agriculture and rural communities with citizens and to raise awareness of the rural convergence industry.

This education program will be held eight times from June 2 to 25 at local experience farms, including Bunto Agricultural Weekend Farm in Buk-gu, Lydia Rose Farm in Gwangsan-gu, Healing Garden Hue in Nam-gu, and Soul Farm in Gwangsan-gu.

The curriculum is centered on hands-on activities using local agricultural products, based on an understanding of the rural convergence industry. Activities include herbal foot baths, planting eco-friendly herb pots, making flower baskets, succulent gardening, and exploring baked sticky rice cakes.

Any Gwangju citizen can apply for free through the city's 'Baro Reservation' website. The application period is from May 12 to 28, and a total of 160 participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, with 20 people per session. For more details, refer to the Gwangju Agricultural Technology Center website or contact the Convergence Support Team.

Kim Sira, Director of the Gwangju Agricultural Technology Center, said, "This is an opportunity for both urban residents and farmers to experience the value of rural communities together and to increase interest in local agriculture. We hope many people will participate."
