[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] The Gangjin-gun Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center announced on the 8th that it conducted the 4th spouse couple education session of the ‘Connected Couples, Happiness Recharge Plus’ project on the 7th to foster healthy multicultural families and enhance spousal affinity.

The Connected Couples, Happiness Recharge Plus project is being promoted after being selected for the Lotte Welfare Foundation’s education support project. It targets 12 multicultural couples and has been conducted remotely at each home since the first session in September to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The program consists of ‘Home Cooking Therapy,’ which helps couples overcome cultural differences through food, and watching videos and completing missions aimed at improving family relationships as couples, children, and parents. It is conducted over a total of seven sessions. Despite the busy farming season, families freely choose their education completion times, resulting in high participation rates.

Cho Seong-ok, director of the Gangjin-gun Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center, said, “All members living in multicultural families are reducing conflicts and communication gaps caused by language and cultural differences through couple community training,” and added, “We will focus on developing programs to help form healthy family relationships based on mutual understanding and respect.”
