Yongin Special City (Mayor Lee Sang-il) announced on the 18th that on the 17th, approximately 20 civil servants and Communist Party officials from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam visited the Namdong Climate Change Experience Education Center in Cheoin-gu to tour the area and experience programs.
This visit was arranged for the Vietnamese training group to learn about Korea’s excellent environmental education system and discover policies applicable to their own country. The training group toured the Climate Change Experience Education Center under the guidance of Professor Heo Hyeong-jo of Dankook University’s Department of Public Administration.
The training group showed great interest in Yongin City’s systematic environmental education program while touring the PR center, education center, and Maepyeong Wetland. They were particularly impressed by the free exhibition facilities and various programs for citizens, and expressed their desire to introduce these in Vietnam as well.
“It was very impressive that they were providing citizens with such a beneficial environmental education opportunity,” said an official from the training center. “We would like to benchmark this case and expand the foundation of environmental education in Vietnam as well.”
City officials emphasized, “Recently, there has been an increase in the number of cases of people visiting the Climate Change Experience Center from overseas,” and “We will make it a center for environmental education recognized both domestically and internationally through facility remodeling and program improvement in the future.”
Meanwhile, the Vietnam training group is visiting local governments and companies in Korea from the 10th to the 18th, learning about various policy cases, hosted by Dankook University’s Convergence Society Research Institute.
