According to the county, this program was organized to help returning farmers and rural migrants establish a foundation for self-reliance. It provides an opportunity for those who have recently moved to Jangsu County to learn practical skills necessary for rural life and to meet and connect with local residents.

Every year, the county offers both theoretical and hands-on lectures on practical rural skills, including woodworking, fermented food making, and terrarium workshops.

This year’s program was held over two sessions for a total of 20 returning farmers, rural migrants, and local residents. It was designed to help participants acquire essential basic skills needed for rural living and to naturally build relationships with the local community.

The curriculum focused on hands-on workshops for making natural daily necessities, understanding basic skills required for rural life, and programs that promote interaction among participants.

In particular, the natural daily necessities making workshop allowed participants to directly create and learn to use products frequently needed in daily life, enabling even first-time attendees to experience the practical benefits of the training.

Additionally, small group discussion sessions were held throughout the program, providing participants with opportunities to share their experiences of returning to or migrating to rural areas and to form new relationships.

Hwang Hyuncheol, head of the department, stated, "We will continue to expand practical education by gathering feedback on what returning farmers and rural migrants truly need," adding, "We will keep providing valuable opportunities to help people settle stably in Jangsu County."
