The humanities program 'Humanities on the Road - Jeonbuk Literature on the Road' at Jeonju City's Wansan Public Library will be held from June to October.

Participants will explore the literary figures and works of 14 cities and counties in Jeonbuk, including the authors' hometowns, writing spaces, literary backgrounds, literary monuments, and literary museums. They will identify literary landmarks associated with the works and humanities resources within the works to confirm the region's value and strength.

The humanities lectures will consist of a total of 12 sessions, each focusing on four themes: △(June) landscapes of Jeonbuk depicted in literary works △(July) roads of Jeonbuk filled with stories △(September) literary monuments with inscriptions on rocks △(October) literary museums where authors have returned, with two lectures and one field trip for each theme.

On June 10th and 17th, at the library's 3rd-floor lecture hall, participants will examine sentences related to Jeonbuk in fairy tales, novels, poems, essays, and plays to provide readers with a more realistic experience of reflection. On the 24th, they will walk from the old Jeonju Castle West Gate to the East Gate, searching for traces of the ancient city recorded in literary works.

The instructors for the program are playwright Choi Ki-woo and children's book author Kim Geun-hye. Choi, known for works like 'Jeonju, Walking Slowly,' 'Rediscovering Jeonbuk,' and 'Flower Heart Jeonju,' has introduced Jeonbuk's history, culture, and figures through over 20 humanities books. Kim, selected as the 'Book of the Year in Jeonju' for 2025, has participated in various local humanities book projects.

Choi Ki-woo stated, "The legacies contained in literary works have been the force that enriched this land. Examining spaces where the origins of literature are vividly alive will provide pride in the region and a greater sense of awe."

Applications for the program can be made through the Jeonju City Public Library website, and participation is free for everyone. For inquiries, contact 063-230-1873.
