Learn About Local Cultural Heritage Through Hands-On Experience

An event has been organized where people can learn about and experience local cultural heritage while also receiving recognition for volunteer service hours.

The 'Gyeonggi Province Cultural Heritage Care Project,' operated by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, will hold cultural heritage care classrooms (volunteer activities) from August 7-13 during the vacation period, open to teenagers and parents to participate together.

The cultural heritage care classroom will be implemented in 9 regions (Suwon, Goyang, Seongnam, Yongin, Anyang, Namyangju, Uijeongbu, Pyeongtaek, and Yeoju). Participants are elementary, middle, and high school students and guardians within the province, with 20-30 people per location for a total of 180-270 participants recruited on a first-come, first-served basis.

The cultural heritage care classroom, which runs for three hours a day, consists of introductions to local cultural heritage, hands-on maintenance experience, volunteer activities such as environmental cleanup around cultural heritage sites, and more. Participants receive volunteer service hours.
