Abstract

This paper deals with the role of lifelong learning in the process of forming and developing local communities, taking the case of the Gamgol residents’ association in Ansan, South Korea. The Gamgol residents’ association, which started from the elementary school library volunteer mothers, formed a social cooperative based on non-formal lifelong learning activities among the residents. It became a central organization in the local community for tackling various regional problems. The South Korean government’s policy initiatives to revitalize the local community contributed to the Gamgol community’s development. The author discusses how lifelong learning practice can play an essential role in social innovation through local community building.
