This workshop was organized under the theme of "A Study Tour for the Successful Hosting of the 2026-2027 Gyeonggi-do Comprehensive Sports Games." In particular, its significance was heightened by visiting Boeun County, which successfully hosted the Chungcheongbuk-do Provincial Sports Festival.

The workshop schedule, arranged with the cooperation of the Boeun Volunteer Center and the Sports Council, included sharing the roles and activity cases of volunteers, educational programs touring sports centers and stadiums, and a cultural tour of Boeun's major attractions such as Jeongipumsong, Beopjusa Temple, and Songnisan Theme Park. Through these activities, participants were able to expand exchanges and reaffirm their commitment to the successful hosting of the 26-27 Gyeonggi-do Comprehensive Sports Games.

Notably, Boeun County Governor Choi Jaehyung and Deputy Governor Byun Insun personally visited the event venue to welcome and encourage the volunteers. Governor Choi Jaehyung stated, "I hope the experience Boeun County has accumulated in hosting the Provincial Sports Festival will serve as a valuable foundation for Gwangju. Your efforts will make Gwangju's sports festival shine even brighter," expressing his support for the volunteers.

Bang Sehwan, Chairman of the Gwangju Volunteer Center, also visited the site and encouraged the volunteers, saying, "As Gwangju is growing as a hub for not only international events but also various other events, I ask for the active participation of volunteers to ensure the successful hosting of the Gyeonggi-do Comprehensive Sports Games."

The Gwangju Volunteer Center is currently recruiting about 1,000 volunteers for the 26-27 Gyeonggi-do Comprehensive Sports Games, starting from May 2025. For more details, please visit the Gwangju Volunteer Center website.
