Seo-gu Gwangju Launches 'Eco Library Exploration Team' Combining Experiential Learning and Reading
Educational Program Linking Libraries and Parks
Fostering Ecological Sensibility
On May 20, Seo-gu in Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it is operating the 'Eco Library Exploration Team,' an experiential environmental education program that combines nature and reading.
The 'Eco Library Exploration Team' has been selected as an excellent environmental education program by the Ministry of Environment. It is run as an ecological field trip that connects the Children's Ecological Learning Library with nearby parks, allowing participants to experience local ecosystems and learn about the importance of environmental protection.
The program continues until the end of the year, with seasonal ecological themes: in May, 'Buzzing Bees!' teaches about the coexistence of bees and flowers; in September, 'Growing Trees!' explores the role of trees and the need for their protection; and in October, the 'Leaves and Wildflowers!' session offers hands-on activities using plants and natural objects found in the park, helping children develop ecological sensitivity.

The program begins with a library orientation and related picture book readings, followed by activity sheet learning and safety education. Participants then move to the park, where they observe flowers, insects, trees, and other elements of the ecosystem, and engage in nature play activities.
Seo-gu Office has designed the program as a field-based education that combines reading and ecological experiences, aiming to enhance children’s ecological sensibility and environmental awareness.
