Gangnam-gu, 'Ontact Cake Making' for Vulnerable Children

High Response to Video Conferencing Platform 'Zoom' Utilization, Second Session Held on 23rd... Bridging Learning and Care Gaps

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has been operating the ‘Ontact Cake Making’ program since the 10th for vulnerable groups, including Dream Start registered children who have experienced a lack of experiential activities due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This program is conducted for 10 Dream Start registered children through the video conferencing platform ‘Zoom’.

As the instructor demonstrates cake making, the children ask questions and receive answers in real time while making the cake themselves. The ingredients are delivered to each home in advance through integrated case managers.

Receiving high praise for real-time communication and well-organized progress, the district plans to hold the second program on the 23rd. A parent who participated in the first program expressed gratitude, saying, “Through this easy-to-follow home program, my child gained a sense of accomplishment.”

Oh Sun-mi, Director of the Women and Family Division, said, “We will expand the use of video conferencing platforms to various programs such as children’s rights education and one-on-one mentoring to fill the learning and care gaps caused by COVID-19, and become a ‘Smart City Gangnam’ that shares, cares, and respects.”
