Seoul Gangseo-gu Hosts 'Visiting Decentralization and Budget Online Class'

Easily Explaining Decentralization, Resident Participatory Budgeting System, and Resident Autonomy... Available for Viewing on Gangseo-gu Office YouTube from the 12th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) will operate the "Visiting Decentralization and Budget Online Class" as a non-face-to-face online education program starting from the 12th to raise residents' awareness of autonomous decentralization and strengthen autonomous capabilities.

This education program was prepared to help residents, who are familiar with terms such as resident autonomy, decentralization, and participatory budgeting but are unfamiliar with how they are actually implemented, by providing detailed and easy explanations to enhance understanding of local autonomy and raise awareness of decentralization.

The lectures consist of three sessions: ▲Concept of Decentralization (Professor Lee In-sook) ▲Decentralization and Constitutional Stories (Professor Yoo Seung-ik) ▲Basic Understanding of Resident Participatory Budgeting (Director Kim Min-chul), each designed to be about 40 minutes long for easy listening.

In the first session, "Concept of Decentralization," the question "Why autonomy, and why decentralization?" will be explored to understand why decentralization is necessary now and what challenges must be addressed to realize it.

The second session, "Decentralization and Constitutional Stories," approaches decentralization from a legal perspective, and the third session, "Basic Understanding of Resident Participatory Budgeting," will educate on the participatory budgeting process and actual operation cases to help residents utilize the participatory budgeting system and discover quality projects.

Additionally, through decentralization education tailored to the characteristics of Gangseo-gu, the program aims to build consensus and enhance individual autonomous capabilities.

Any resident interested in autonomy, decentralization, or budgeting can listen to the lectures without prior registration via Gangseo-gu Office’s YouTube channel iGangseoTV from the 12th until December 31st.

A district official said, "We prepared the lectures for residents who are familiar yet unfamiliar with the words autonomy, decentralization, and budgeting," adding, "Since it is conducted as online education suited for the untact era, it provides an opportunity for residents who have been interested but found it inconvenient to attend to easily participate."
