3Lifelong Learning Cities in Korea

The Republic of Korea has pursued a project to create lifelong learning cities at the city-, district-, and county-level since 2001 to vitalize the citizens lifelong learning. Lifelong learning cities started off in local governments of cities, districts, and counties, to build networks among lifelong learning resources within the regions, to provide more opportunities for lifelong learning to local residents, and ultimately, to continue developing the local societies as a result.

Consequently, Koreas lifelong learning cities developed reflecting its own characteristics and context. In addition, by having local residents and societies actively participate, they enhanced the internal capacity of each region with the development of diverse lifelong learning programs. The creation of lifelong learning cities in Korea vitalized networks within and among regions largely contributing to promote lifelong learning culture and to develop local societies.

Starting with 3 lifelong learning cities in 2001, Korea had 19 such cities by 2004, 76 by 2007, and a total of 90 by 2012. This rapid growth in the last 10 years or so is the result of the Korean governments support pursuing lifelong learning societies, and the will of local governments to enhance the quality of life and self-realization of their residents, ultimately improving their regions competitiveness and social cohesion.

The National Institute for Lifelong Education, therefore, came to develop this material as an overview of the 90 lifelong learning cities in Korea, including major projects and achievements of those lifelong learning cities. It is our hope that this book will provide the basis for sharing major programs among lifelong learning cities, and develop creative lifelong learning programs benefiting each citys characteristics. In addition, it is our hope this material will be valued by the international community to share the experiences of diverse lifelong learning cities in the Republic of Korea.
