Creating a sustainable learning community
Siheung is both a garden and industrial port city, and aspires to be a high-tech culture, leisure and tourist city.
Vision and Motivation
The city of Siheung hopes to enhance the capacities of its residents by consolidating social integration, stimulating the local economy and creating lifelong learning opportunities. It also hopes to develop into a sustainable community of living and learning.
Challenges and Goals
By looking back at the last 10 years of lifelong learning development in the city, Siheung will prepare for the next 10 years. It wants to open up new horizons of expansion of thinking and lifelong education by fostering communities, employment opportunities, education, democracy, culture and global networking.
Plan and Implementation
The city is helping disadvantaged groups who may not have had an opportunity to learn by providing lifelong learning programmes developed for people with disabilities. In addition, we support study circles and local lifelong learning leaders as our social capital to create a sustainable learning community. The city is also seeking to revitalize local communities, create learning-type jobs, and develop a variety of spaces for learning, art and culture.
We must believe in our citizens because they are the key to finding solutions.
