Yeosu City Officials Actively Participate in “Discovering Our Islands” On-Site Education Program

Various Volunteer Activities Including Coastal Cleanup
Fostering a Supportive Atmosphere for the Island Expo Through Promotion Efforts

Yeosu City has expanded its action-oriented programs for the successful hosting of the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo through the “Discovering Our Islands” on-site education program, which involves all city employees.

Yeosu city officials participated in volunteer activities such as environmental cleanup on Hawhado Island. Provided by Yeosu City.

The “Discovering Our Islands” education program was established last year to allow public officials to directly visit, walk, and experience the islands of Yeosu. This initiative helps them understand the value of the islands and local resources. In particular, young public officials are actively participating and sharing their on-site activities and the unique attractions of each island through social media, thereby contributing to the promotion of the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo.

The program is being conducted in locations such as Hwajeong-myeon (Gaedo, Nangdo, Hwahado), Samsan-myeon’s Geomundo, and Nam-myeon’s Geumodo. Participating employees are also working to create a cleaner environment on the islands by engaging in volunteer activities such as collecting litter along the coastlines and near tourist sites, as well as participating in environmental cleanup efforts.

A city official stated, “If our employees first experience the value of the islands and put it into action, we will do our utmost to foster a supportive atmosphere for the successful hosting of the Island Expo by continuing field-oriented education and promotional activities.”
