Starting this year, Gyeonggi Province is also newly launching the "Middle-Aged Community Space Project." In this initiative, participants can lead lectures or plan and operate educational programs themselves, drawing on their own experience and expertise. The pilot program will be run at the Paju hub, supporting the middle-aged and senior generation in actively creating community spaces and continuing social activities in their regions.

Applications can be submitted online through the Happiness Campus website, with the recruitment period running from May 18 to June 5, 2026.

Song Eun-sil, Director of the Social Innovation and Economy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The Happiness Campus is a core space where the middle-aged and senior generation can proactively design the second half of their lives and form new social connections. I hope many residents of the province will find new vitality in life and embark on new challenges."
