Growth Support Training: Introductory Capacity Building for Village Education Activists at People’s Book Library (Representative: Lee)

On April 22, 2026, the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education announced the selection results for the 2026 Yeongdong Education Development Special Zone “All-Village Learning Center” field project, marking a significant initiative in regional education development.

The selected project, titled “Growth Support Training,” is being implemented by the Human Book Library, represented by Lee (surname withheld), targeting village education activists through introductory competency and capacity-building training programs.

This initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen local educational ecosystems by empowering community-based educators with foundational skills and practical competencies necessary for effective village-level learning activities.

The Human Book Library, operating under the leadership of Lee, specializes in innovative educational models that connect lived experience with formal learning, often utilizing personal narratives as educational resources in community settings.

By focusing on village education activists as primary participants, the program aims to enhance grassroots educational capacity, ensuring that local facilitators are equipped to design and deliver contextually relevant learning experiences within their communities.

The training curriculum emphasizes both introductory orientation and progressive skill development, aligning with national strategies to decentralize educational innovation and support lifelong learning at the community level.

Such programs are increasingly recognized as vital complements to formal education systems, particularly in regions seeking to address educational disparities through localized, participatory approaches.
