This year marks the 10th anniversary of the festival, which was held under the theme "BYD (Learning Lifelong Learning, Seeing the Future)." The festival featured a variety of programs for the whole family, including 18 experiential zones, play spaces for children, food zones, and a recommended book relaxation area at Yangpyeong Library.

In particular, the food zone used reusable containers in line with the county's status as an environmental education city. The Yangpyeong County Residents' Autonomy Council prepared a wide range of food, and a portion of the proceeds was donated, making the event even more meaningful.

The festival began with a sign language dance symbolizing the county's designation as a Lifelong Learning City for People with Disabilities (by the Ministry of Education) and a flash mob performance by lifelong learners of Yangpyeong County. The event ran from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an estimated 2,000 visitors in attendance.

According to the satisfaction survey for the 10th Yangpyeong County Lifelong Learning Festival, over 95% of respondents expressed high satisfaction, with the "various experiential zones" being selected as the most meaningful space. Additionally, 99% of participants indicated their intention to return for next year's festival, reflecting a very positive response.

Jeon Jinseon, Governor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "This year, the festival expanded beyond the regular events held in front of the Lifelong Learning Center to include the Yangpyeong Library and County Art Museum, making it even more significant. We plan to reorganize the existing 80 lifelong learning programs and, starting next year, through the (tentatively named) 'Yangpyeong Attraction Campus,' we hope to further develop into an open learning space where anyone can learn and teach."

Meanwhile, the Lifelong Learning Center will continue to offer a variety of lifelong learning programs, including mobile delivery lectures, lifelong learning trips, and capacity-building programs for the baby boomer generation.
