Assemblyman Lee Byung-hoon's Formation of the 'Citizen Council for the Normalization of Asia Culture Center Operations'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Congressman Lee Byung-hoon (Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangju Dong-gu Nam-gu Eul) announced on the 6th that ahead of the revision of the Special Act on the Asia Culture Centered City, a “Citizen Council for the Normalization of the Operation of the Asia Culture Center” will be formed as a civic communication and consultation channel, and the first meeting will be held.

The Asia Culture Center is a core project of the Asia Culture Centered City development project, and the activation of the center’s space through citizen participation and the development of content were set as very important criteria in the project plan, but there had been no discussion body for this so far.

Taking this opportunity of the special act revision, an agreement was reached to form a council during the consultation process with civic groups.

The function of the council is expected to focus on gathering civic opinions for the activation of the Asia Culture Center.

Also, since it is not composed only of civic groups but simultaneously includes members of the National Assembly, government agencies, local governments, and the operators of the Asia Culture Center, it is expected to become a practical channel through which citizens’ opinions are established and implemented as policies.

This citizen council includes Congressman Lee, about ten civic groups participating in the Asia Culture City Citizens’ Solidarity such as Gwangju Minyechong and Jinbo Solidarity, the Asia Culture Centered City Support Forum, the Asia Culture Institute, the Asia Culture Institute Labor Union (Public Transport Union), Gwangju Metropolitan City, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
