[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Metropolitan City held the opening ceremony for the '2026 DODO Project' instructor training course on the 28th at the grand lecture hall of the Suwon Lifelong Learning Center. The opening ceremony was attended by approximately 200 applicants accepted to the Cheongaeguri Classroom parent instructor training program.

The DODO Project instructor training course provides educational content linked to elementary school curriculum to parents and citizens, fostering instructors to work in local educational settings. Instructors who complete the program will teach at Suwon elementary schools through the Cheongaeguri Classroom program.

Participants will receive intensive education combining field-specific theoretical lectures and practical training from January to February, and will begin their instructor activities in earnest from March to April.

A city official stated, "The DODO Project is an exemplary case of educational governance cooperation by local government where citizens participate as providers beyond being beneficiaries of education," and added, "Suwon City will actively support instructors so they can shine more in the field."
