2025 Africa Saemaul Undong Training Program in South Korea 🇰🇷
Hey everyone 🪱🌱 A warm welcome to all the new members joining the Worm Farming Community! I’m thrilled to share that I’m currently in South Korea 🇰🇷, taking part in the 2025 Africa Saemaul Undong Training Program — an incredible initiative bringing together 27 leaders from South Africa, Lesotho, and Mozambique to learn from Korea’s world-renowned rural development model. We arrived on October 26th, and for the next 80 hours, we’re diving deep into the Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement) — exploring how Korea built thriving rural communities through innovation, cooperation, and sustainability. The best part? 😍 This program actually incorporates worm farming! We’ll be visiting a worm farm to see how Korea integrates vermiculture into sustainable agriculture and waste management. I can’t wait to see their systems, setups, and how they’ve scaled production while keeping everything eco-friendly and efficient. Right now, it’s Day 3 in Suwon, and we’re covering topics like: *The Saemaul Undong Model and its cooperative principles *Economic development through rural innovation *And going foward, a workshop on Action Plan Development, where I’ll be working on ideas to integrate worm farming into community development projects back home. My mission from this program: ✅ Develop a customized Saemaul Undong model that includes worm farming as a key driver of rural growth ✅ Create projects that generate youth employment and sustainable income ✅ Deliver actionable plans that communities can implement immediately This experience is a game-changer for our movement. I’ll keep you all updated after the worm farm visit and share practical insights we can apply to strengthen our own projects 🌍💪 #WormFarming #SustainableAgriculture #SaemaulUndong #AfricaKoreaPartnership #RuralDevelopment
