Gwonseon-gu Pyeongdong Develops Core Lifelong Learning Personnel

Pyeongdong-dong (District Head Lee Byeong-gyu) in Gwonseon-gu, in support of the City of Suwon's "Lifelong Learning Golden Triangle Project" that has been underway since late July, conducted "Kkumjak Learning Community Building" training on the 12th at Gyeonggi Regional University of the Korea National Open University. The training was aimed at developing village-level learning coordinators and resident instructors for two locations: Taessan Apartment Complex 1 in Goosaek-dong and Cheonggu Apartment Complex 2 in Omokcheon-dong.

On this day, District Head Lee Byeong-gyu delivered remarks to trainees who will become future lifelong learning leaders with the theme "Know so you won't be confined" (Having knowledge ensures you are not left feeling blocked and helpless), saying, "Through lifelong learning, pursue knowledge and cultivate happiness on the path of learning, and create a community where residents enjoy and participate."

Meanwhile, a "learning coordinator" refers to a village lifelong education specialist who promotes and supports lifelong learning for the sustainable growth and self-realization of residents. A "Kkumjak community," as the etymology suggests from "communal well site of the village," refers to a community that establishes a shared learning foundation in the region and realizes residents' autonomous capacity through lifelong learning.
