Kimchi Donation with Kimchi Cabbages Grown by Students
- PKNU lifelong education center opened Kimchi-making event in the Agriculture School in City November 30
Citizens donated Kimchi which was made from Chinese cabbages that were grown by people who used the agriculture skills that they learned in the school.
The Lifelong Education Center (Director Sung-Wi Koh) opened the ‘Making Kimchi and Donation Event’ in the kitchen of the food processing factory in Daeyeon Campus from 10 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon on December 30.
The ingredients they used on this day have a special story. The vegetables in the Kimchi have been grown by 40 citizens in Nam-gu and Suyeong-gu since last summer. These citizens learned agriculture skills in the Agriculture School in City of Pukyong National University lifelong education center.
This school offers a course for residents to strengthen their abilities. It is run by the Busan National Institute for Lifelong Education, Nam-gu office, Suyeong-gu office, and Pukyong National University jointly. When this school opened, it attracted quite a lot of attention from citizens and around 300 people applied for the school even though the maximum number that the school could accept was just 40.
The students of the school learned how to organically grow vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radish, crown daisy, chives, and lettuce. With the skills learned from the school, they have cultivated organic vegetables in a vacant lot in the Yongdang campus of Pukyong National University, and harvested it recently.
Around fifty people including students of the school, volunteer workers, Lee Jong-cheol, the mayor of Nam-gu, and Park Hyeon-wook, the administrator of Suyeong-gu attended this event making 300 heads of Kimchi and they donated it to needy neighbors.
The director of the lifelong education center, Sung-Wi Koh, said that this event is meaningful because citizens can keep themselves healthy through agriculture in nature, and they can also make a better society through donation to people in need.
The Lifelong education center of Pukyong National University will cooperate with Busan city from next spring to make more professional courses at the agriculture school such as a training course for agriculture experts and a course on horticultural treatment.<Pukyong today>
