Gwangju Bitgoeul 50+ Center, one of the job projects fully supported by Gwangju City, announced on the 26th that it has completed the launch ceremony after recruiting participants for the '50+ Cultural Facility Support Group.'
This project contributes to providing the highest quality hospitality and professional services characteristic of Gwangju, a city renowned for its artistic heritage and status as a cultural capital, to visiting tourists. It also supports the activation of cultural facilities facing operational difficulties by recruiting qualified middle-aged citizens and assigning them to requested cultural facilities.
The deployed support group consists of qualified personnel such as cultural tourism interpreters and guides, stage arts specialists, cultural arts educators and convention planners, assistant curators of museums and art galleries, cultural arts web promoters, and domestic travel guides. They are assigned in a customized manner to demonstrate expertise and play various auxiliary roles to help overcome the operational challenges of cultural and artistic facilities.
Jung Chan-gi, director of Bitgoeul 50+ Center, said, "As a poet of the Korean Writers' Association, I deeply feel the necessity of the Cultural Facility Support Group." He added, "Gwangju, a city of artistic heritage, will take the lead in developing and prospering from a boring city to an exciting city filled with cultural facility tourists."
