Also helps studies in school.....

The Nambumin 2 Dong Community Service Center offered special classes on Baduk for one month on January, 2010 in it small library as a winter vacation program for the local children residing in the community. The residents thought that one month is too short for the program so the office extended the program starting from mid February. The program received a positive evaluation from the residents. For children, it helped improve their concentration and brain development and helped in their academic ability. For people who play baduk in their leisure time, it is effective for the prevention of dementia so more and more students are coming to this special class. Looking at the age group, from elementary school students to the senior citizens class who are attending the classes together, we can see the intergenerational relationships broaden and reduce the age gap and serves as a model of traditional Monarch Village pump rooms in the country many years ago.
