Yeongdeungpo-gu Launches First Half Women's Cultural Classes

Suwon's Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Chief Lee Jae-seon) held its opening ceremony for the first half of 2007 Women's Cultural Classes on the 9th.

District Chief Lee Jae-seon, along with instructors including Won-jang Yun Seok-gyu of the Minye Sarang Pottery Studio, and approximately 150 students attended the opening ceremony.

This educational program consists of 6 subjects—three fewer than last year—including flower arranging, cooking, and baking. The district plans to expand and operate the program from being focused on hobbies and cultural activities to half of the classes enabling participants to enter the workforce and increase their skills.

District Chief Lee Jae-seon stated, "In a rapidly changing society, the role of women is becoming increasingly important, and it is crucial to maintain a continuous learning attitude," and added "I hope this educational program will provide diverse learning opportunities for women and contribute to the cultivation of healthy families and local culture."
