Yeosu-si Dream Start Transforms 'Our Whole Family into Chefs'

Children and caregivers create 'creative cooking' together directly in each home

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City Dream Start conducted the "Our Family Are All Chefs" experience program for 30 families and 46 participants, including children using Dream Start and their caregivers, the day before.

According to the city, the event was originally planned as an on-site family participation program, but due to the impact of COVID-19, the group education was canceled. Instead, "agricultural product packages composed of excellent local agricultural products" were distributed to homes, allowing the whole family to cook together at home and submit videos via SNS.

The agricultural product packages, consisting of pork, chicken, tofu, onions, potatoes, chives, and bean sprouts, were provided using the Yeosu City School Meal Support Center, offering families the opportunity to experience cooking and dining by sharing roles among family members.

A single parent who participated in the program said, "We decided on the menu, divided roles, cooked, and shared the meal, which made me realize once again the preciousness of family members."

An official from the city stated, "We will continue to develop various non-face-to-face programs to contribute to infectious disease prevention and provide opportunities to restore the functions of a healthy family community."
