Gyeongsan City is accelerating the creation of a sustainable community by providing environmental education for future generations and conducting sharing activities for underserved groups in the region.

The Gyeongsan Carbon Neutrality Support Center has officially launched the "Visiting Carbon Neutrality Classroom" program for elementary, middle, and high schools in the area, starting in 2026, in order to foster practical capabilities for responding to the climate crisis and achieving carbon neutrality in daily life.

The program, which was first introduced last year, has expanded in scale this year with the cooperation of the Gyeongsan Office of Education.

Over the course of the first semester, the program will be conducted sequentially for 19 selected classes in the area, chosen through a prior application process.

In April, the first lessons were held at Gyeongsan Jeil High School and Gyeongsan Seobu Elementary School.

The curriculum takes a participatory approach, with expert instructors visiting schools to give lectures on the theory of carbon neutrality while also leading upcycling activities that utilize discarded resources from everyday life.

Students who participated in the program gained a firsthand appreciation for the value of resource circulation and showed strong interest in practicing recycling in their daily lives.

Kim Jae-wan, Director of the Environment Division of Gyeongsan City, emphasized the importance of awareness and action in daily life in responding to the climate crisis, expressing hope that this program will help students naturally understand the necessity of carbon neutrality.

On the same day, the Jungang-dong Community Security Council demonstrated neighborly love by holding a "Love Samgyetang Sharing Event" for 200 households of elderly living alone and low-income families in the area.

About 20 council members participated in the event, which was carried out through the "Together, Happy Savings Bank" initiative, a joint fundraising project of the Community Chest of Korea's North Gyeongsang branch.

From early in the morning, the council members prepared and cooked ingredients themselves and delivered 200 samgyetang meals worth a total of 3 million won directly to the recipient households, checking in on their well-being.

Chairman Kim Young-gu expressed his hope that the carefully prepared food would help the seniors maintain their health and pledged to continue leading efforts in resource mobilization and sharing activities for vulnerable groups.

Lee Nam-jin, head of Jungang-dong, also expressed gratitude to the participating council members and added that he would do his utmost to resolve blind spots in welfare coverage.
