Miryang City, Gyeongsangnam-do announced that it successfully concluded the ‘Milyang University’ business information session and workshop hosted by Miryang Communication and Cooperation Center (Center Director Eunjin Park) at Camp Fraser in Naeil-dong on the 23rd.
At the event, about 70 people of various ages from Miryang as well as Gyeongnam and the metropolitan area attended, listened to explanations about the overall project, and had time to form networks and communicate through department-specific workshops.
‘Milyang Eun University’ is a name that combines the local name ‘Milyang’ and ‘university’, which symbolizes a learning space. It is a program that supports learning and growth by making every corner of the region a learning place, and is attracting attention as a new solution to overcome the era of population decline.
‘Milyang Eun University’ consists of a total of 5 departments. Participants are expected to experience the joy of learning and draw their own direction in life through four months of study.
Center Director Park Eun-jin said, “To overcome the crisis of population decline and regional extinction, we need an approach that goes beyond simply competing to increase the residential population and increases the attractiveness of the region and improves the quality of life. “We will continue to work hard to establish ourselves,” he said.
Detailed information about this project can be found at ‘Check-in Miryang’, an online platform operated by the Miryang Communication and Cooperation Center.
