20 Participants per Session, 40 in Total on a First-Come, First-Served Basis
Yeongcheon City, North Gyeongsang Province (Mayor Choi Kimoon), is recruiting participants for the 'I Live in Yeongcheon' Return-to-Farming Camp, which will be held at the Stay-Type Agricultural Startup Support Center in Bohyeon-ri, Jayang-myeon, starting in September.
This program is designed to give urban residents who wish to return to farming or relocate to rural areas an opportunity to experience rural life in advance.
The short-term educational program runs for two days and one night and includes field learning and hands-on experiences at advanced farms, meetings with experienced return-to-farming residents, and local cultural tours.
The main schedule consists mostly of practical, field-oriented activities, such as tours of wineries and peach farms, introductions to the Stay-Type Agricultural Startup Support Center and Yeongcheon City's support for return-to-farming residents, listening to settlement success stories, harvesting from kitchen gardens, and agricultural product processing experiences.
The program will be held twice: from September 17 to 18, and from September 24 to 25.
A total of 40 participants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis, with 20 people per session. Urban residents interested in rural life and Yeongcheon citizens who have moved within the past year are eligible to apply until September 10.
For more details, please visit the Yeongcheon City website or the Green Road integrated platform for returning to farming and rural relocation.
Choi Jaeyeol, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, stated, "The Return-to-Farming Camp is an educational program to promote Yeongcheon's excellent environment and rural culture to urban residents, and we hope for the interest and participation of those wishing to return to farming or relocate to rural areas."
