The Changwon Special City Lifelong Learning Center was constructed as a public contribution facility within Sahwa Park, a privately developed park located at 162 Ugok-ro, Uichang-gu. The facility was designed as a four-story building with a total floor area of 3,556 square meters. Construction was completed in July, and it is scheduled to be donated to the city in December.

During the session, Choi Jeonggyu, Head of the Lifelong Education Division, presented the progress of the project and future operational plans, emphasizing communication with citizens through a Q&A session and the collection of written feedback. In addition, the city conducted an online opinion survey from August 20 to 28 to gather diverse perspectives from all sectors of the community.

During the Q&A session, participants actively exchanged practical and specific questions and suggestions regarding not only the use of space but also the content and operation of programs.

One resident expressed hope, saying, "I hope the Lifelong Learning Center will become an open space that can be used by both seniors and children."

Jeong Sooki, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, "We will do our utmost to incorporate the valuable suggestions made today and to establish a Lifelong Learning Center that embraces all generations and enables sustainable learning."
