Jungnang-gu Holds 'Naebongdairun' Meeting for Vietnamese Marriage Immigrants

Self-Help Meetings via Online Platforms like Gurumibiz... Various Activities Planned Including Paper Flower Making and Self-Help Workshop Participation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will conduct the 2020 multicultural family self-help group ‘Noeibongdairun’ for 10 marriage immigrants from Vietnam starting on the 24th.

‘Noeibongdairun’ means ‘Hand in Hand’ and was planned to help Vietnamese marriage immigrants share various common interests from childcare to adapting to Korean society, aiming for a stable settlement in Korean society.

This self-help group will mainly be conducted through the video conferencing platform Gurumibiz to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

From July to December, participants will engage in paper flower making activities, with an external instructor demonstrating directly via video so that self-help group participants can easily follow along.

In addition, in July, an orientation will be held to guide participants on how to join online education, and members will have time to introduce themselves to each other.

Also, in October, depending on the COVID-19 situation, face-to-face activities such as participation in self-help group workshops are expected to take place. The final evaluation meeting of the self-help group will be held in December, but the overall program schedule may change due to COVID-19.

Along with this, continuous communication will be maintained using an online platform to strengthen the bond among members. In particular, an interpreter/translator from the Jungnang-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center, who is of Vietnamese origin, will be selected as the group leader to ensure the group proceeds actively.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope this self-help group will be actively conducted and greatly help marriage immigrants build healthy families and live happy lives.”
