Through this agreement, the two institutions will jointly plan and operate ecological and agricultural experience education programs for young children, and provide a variety of educational experiences for children in their growth period through customized activities tailored to each season and theme.

The Yangju Agricultural Technology Center will support the operation of garden experience programs by providing urban agriculture managers and connecting with rural experience farms, while the Gyeonggi Northern Early Childhood Experience Education Institute will be responsible for recruiting participants and cooperating in program execution.

In addition, the two institutions plan to share human and material resources such as spaces, equipment, and personnel for the efficient operation of major projects and rural experience education programs, and to strengthen community ties through mutual promotion.

Director Lee Songju emphasized, "As the influx of newlyweds increases due to new town development, the population of young children continues to grow. Experience activities utilizing agricultural and rural resources are becoming increasingly important for nurturing children's sensitivity."

He added, "We will support young children in forming an understanding of rural culture and developing healthy eating habits through rural experiences. I hope that, through this agreement, both institutions will work together to create a happier local community."
