The 20th Suwon Lifelong Learning Festival under the theme of 'Learning at Twenty, Meeting the Future Together' will meet with citizens through diverse programs starting at 10 a.m. on October 31st at the Suwon Lifelong Learning Center.

The 20th Anniversary Special Exhibition introduces records of the Suwon Lifelong Learning Festival over 20 sessions and learning stories from 10 major institutions, allowing visitors to view 20 years of history at a glance.

The citizen participation project 'Message Wall for the 20th Anniversary' invites citizens to write messages about their learning experiences and expectations for the future, which will be posted on the message wall to share with others.

'Finding Learning at Twenty' is an event where participants visit major festival venues, participate in Saebit Talk Talk satisfaction surveys to earn stamps, and receive commemorative gifts.

An official ceremony will take place on the outdoor stage at 2 p.m., featuring commendations for lifelong education activists, awards for the adult literacy competition, 20th anniversary video screening, and a 20th anniversary virtual reality (VR) drawing (metaverse art) performance.

Lifelong learning institutions and organizations, learning clubs, and neighborhood communities operate 35 experience booths in the Suwon Lifelong Learning Center parking lot, while learning clubs and lifelong learning institution performance teams provide busking on the outdoor stage.

At the Suwon Lifelong Learning Center Grand Hall, the 'Adult Literacy Extravaganza' featuring adult literacy learners competing in sijo poetry and essay writing and reciting poems opens from 10 a.m.

A Suwon City official stated, "The 20th Lifelong Learning Festival will be a meaningful time to reflect on the past 20 years with citizens and discover new possibilities for learning," and added, "We will strive to ensure that all citizens have opportunities to learn in their daily lives and that learning leads to personal growth."
