Hwacheon County is continuing its humanities lecture series with a focus on communication, following themes of harmony and coexistence. After inviting commentator Jeong Kwan-yong on October 21, another lecture on the same theme will take place in Sain-myeon on October 28.


According to Hwacheon County, the October humanities lecture was held on the night of October 21 at the Hwacheon Community Center, themed 'Communication Hwacheon.' Attendees included County Mayor Kim Se-hoon, Council Chairman Jo Woong-hee, council members, and local residents.


The upcoming lecture in Sain-myeon is scheduled for October 28 at 6:30 PM at the Sain Comprehensive Cultural Center.


This event is part of the 'Visiting Humanities Lectures' program initiated by Mayor Kim since July. The county has planned to conduct monthly programs in Hwacheon-eup and Sain-myeon until December to meet residents' intellectual and cultural needs and expand lifelong learning opportunities.


In the first month, composer Lee Ho-seob participated as a lecturer. The event on July 22 at the Hwacheon Cultural Arts Center attracted over 200 residents, where Lee presented a lecture and performance themed 'New Start Hwacheon, We Are One.'


In August, Professor Choi Chang-ryeol from Yongin University was invited to discuss 'Coexistence Hwacheon.' Following expert lectures, a talk show featuring Mayor Kim and residents was organized to facilitate dialogue.


The previous programs have connected themes of community harmony, coexistence, and communication, focusing on issues for residents to consider through lectures and discussions.


Hosting the events in Hwacheon-eup and Sain-myeon allows residents to access lectures within their local areas. This regular operation over several months aims to provide opportunities for learning and cultural participation in daily life.


The county plans to continue programs related to health, healing, and reflection, as well as humanities lectures utilizing local resources on peace, security, and ecology until the end of the year.
