There is a lecture on the street that shares the wisdom and experience of life in Seoul. It is called a wisdom power plant and held in the marronnier park.

The enthusiastic wisdom power plant creates communication between generations and the energy of life.

Although the weather is quite chilly, the wisdom power plant was held for audiences.

“You are experiencing what you can do every day. I don’t want to do something that I can do, instead of I just want to do.”

The theme of today’s lecture is the mindset. The senior speaker shares a small story in the life she experienced with the citizens.

“I am going to start to talk with the theme of the daily enlightenment. I am here to share the wisdom I found while preparing breakfast this morning.” One of the speakers said.

This lecture on the street, which anyone can share the enlightenment and experience they have, win the audience heart with the stories of all generations.

One of the citizens said, “I am so pleased and feel great since the lecture fits my life journey.”

In the lecture program, a wisdom power plant has three speakers each week, and each of them gives a speech for about 10 minutes. There are some performances between the speeches, and it is leading the new street culture. The speeches are even on air on Youtube.

“It’s also helpful in my life. I consider it rewarding to have a chance to interact with many people.” a columnist said.

The speakers are entirely various from the retired CEO, photographer, etc. and they are full of diverse experiences and abilities.

The leader of the program said “These days, the world is full of knowledge but it seems like the wisdom is belittled. We desired to discover the experiences and life wisdom from many seniors and share them with the local community, and that’s why we decided to call it “Wisdom power planet.”

The program started in March in 2017 and has held 71 times. It has had more than 2,000 audiences so far. They are planning to publish books with the lectures next October to celebrate 100th presentation.
