Incheon to Open Gajwa Workers' Integrated Culture Center in November... Health and IT Programs to Be Offered

The Incheon city government announced on September 26 that the Gajwa Workers' Integrated Culture Center will open at the end of November.

The center was built with a total project cost of 18.7 billion won and consists of one basement level and five floors above ground. Inside, it features rest areas, a fitness center, a library, a music room, a shared kitchen, a language lab, and meeting rooms.

The center will replace the previous Workers' Culture Center, which operated from 1984 to 2021, and will serve as a cultural and welfare space for both workers and citizens.

In December, the center will run about 40 pilot programs for one month, and from next year, regular courses will be offered to citizens on a quarterly basis.

In particular, the center will introduce new health and wellness programs such as yoga, Pilates, and spinal exercises, as well as IT special lectures to strengthen workers' practical skills, including courses on ChatGPT and Miricanvas (a design platform), to differentiate itself from existing welfare facilities.

The center will be open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Those wishing to enroll in programs can apply through the Incheon Facilities Corporation website in November.

An official from the Incheon city government stated, "The center is a new hub for cultural welfare, where workers and citizens can learn and enjoy together, finding new vitality in their lives. It is a space that brings together health, lifelong learning, communication, and harmony. We will continue to expand various foundations necessary to improve workers' welfare and quality of life."
