The ‘Gijang-gun Lifelong Learning Promotion and Counseling Center’ is run by five ‘Lifelong Learning Counseling Activists’ composed of local residents. The center provides customized lifelong learning information and counseling to citizens once a week at Gijang-gun Office (Wednesdays from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM) and Jeonggwan Library (Tuesdays from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM).

On the 12th, the ‘Lifelong Learning Counseling Activists’ held an orientation session to actively promote lifelong learning and communicate with citizens, completing preparations for center operations by reviewing counseling materials, activity guidelines, and final checks on precautions.

A Gijang-gun official said, “As the promotion and counseling center will expand its operation from a total of 40 sessions last year to 80 sessions this year, we expect the expansion of the lifelong learning base and more active communication with citizens regarding lifelong learning.”
