Encounter Between Nature and Philosophy in the City: Busan Metropolitan City Hall “Deullak-Nallak” & Open Library to Host Ecology and Humanities Programs

내용

Busan Metropolitan City announced that it will host a series of ecology and humanities experience programs for all generations at the Sky Garden on the 4th floor and the Open Library on the 3rd floor of City Hall.

The program is composed of two parts:
▲ An ecological learning program where participants can interact with nature and learn in the green urban space of the Sky Garden, and
▲ A humanities program designed to encourage emotional healing through philosophical reflection.

At the Sky Garden on the 4th floor of City Hall, from November 12 to December 20, diverse activities will be offered for infants, children, and families, including ecological learning and traditional play.

Representative programs include:
▲ “All Aboard! Alley Playground” – a traditional play experience featuring activities such as train play, shuttlecock kicking, and gate games;
▲ “Let’s Play Ecology!” – a hands-on ecological storytelling and crafting session combining environmental learning and creative play; and
▲ “My Garden Friends” – a family art experience where participants can meet and create with an ecological picture book author.

Meanwhile, the Open Library on the 3rd floor of City Hall will hold the Philosophy Café: “Disappearance and the Remaining Questions” for adults on November 6 and November 13 at 7:00 p.m.

This event, based on the fall book-curation exhibition “Bookshelf of Disappearance,” invites citizens to explore universal themes such as life and death, existence and disappearance through discussions between speakers and participants.

The sessions will proceed in the following order:
▲ emotional opening with music,
▲ introduction of curated books and philosophical dialogue,
▲ citizen-participation discussion and “One-Line Reflections” sharing, and
▲ an experiential activity titled “Bookmark of Questions.”

Detailed information about the programs can be found on the Busan City Hall Open Library website (library.busan.go.kr/openlib/index.do) under the “Notices” section.

Kim Gwi-ok, Director of the Youth and Industry-Academia Affairs Bureau, stated:

“This special program is designed to give children time to learn and play in nature, while offering adults an opportunity for deep reflection. We hope citizens will fully enjoy the pleasures of books and culture in both the Sky Garden and the Open Library.”
