The opening ceremony and various achievement-sharing programs will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the day of the event.

First, the main achievement-sharing programs will include ▲ Bukpyeong Kitchen ▲ Bukpyeong Market ▲ Bukpyeong Table ▲ Bukpyeong Photo Studio ▲ Bukpyeong Treasure Hunt, which showcase the identity and stories of this year’s Buk-gu lifelong learning projects through food, goods, and other outputs to inform residents.

In addition, 47 event booths operated by teams exhibiting and offering free experiences of the results of seven projects currently underway at the Buk-gu Lifelong Learning Center will be available.

Especially at the closing ceremony, participants will collectively sing 'Everyone's Song,' which they have written and composed on-site by presenting musical notes and lifelong learning keywords related to Buk-gu, creating a moment of shared empathy for lifelong learning in Buk-gu.

A Buk-gu official said, "Living in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with unpredictable future changes, lifelong learning is necessary for us to actively respond to big and small changes." He added, "Through this event, we hope to widely promote the value of learning to residents and spread a community culture that continuously grows and innovates based on lifelong learning."
