Seodaemun-gu Child Participation Committee Appointment Ceremony Replaced with Non-Face-to-Face Event

Appointed 53 Members of the 2nd Child Participation Committee and 10 University Student Mentors... Activities Until November to Identify and Propose Improvements for 'Local Environments Not Considering Children'... Activity Support Item 'Unboxing Video' Posted in Online Cafe to Kick Off Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 22nd that the "2nd Seodaemun-gu Child Participation Committee" will begin its activities with the members participating in a non-face-to-face event instead of a commissioning ceremony due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The district recently delivered activity support items including appointment certificates, name tags, vests, water bottles, and masks to 53 child participation committee members and 10 university student mentors in 2020.

The members and mentors will start official activities until November this year by creating and uploading a "My Own Unboxing Video" to the Child Participation Committee's online cafe this week. The video will naturally promote the committee while introducing the activity support items.

The Seodaemun-gu Child Participation Committee was launched in 2019 to allow children to directly monitor the local environment with university student mentors and propose improvement plans to the district.

Following the participation of 34 children in grades 3 to 6 of elementary school in the first term last year, 53 children are participating in the second term this year.

The 2nd term members will discover and propose improvements for "buildings and local environments that do not consider children's safety or perspectives," such as dangerous construction sites around children's school routes.

Mayor Moon Seok-jin said, "One of the basic principles of UNICEF Child-Friendly Cities is to create a safe local environment for children," adding, "We expect Seodaemun-gu to become a better child-friendly city through the meticulous monitoring of the child participation committee members."
