Eunpyeong-gu Hosts 'Da(Many) Mo-in Online Market'

Holding a Multicultural Family Market Linked to the Former 'October Online Picnic'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) regrets the lack of active exchanges in 2020 due to prolonged social distancing and will hold the 'Damo-in Online Market' (hereafter ‘Market’), where multicultural families can showcase their diverse talents and immigrants and Eunpyeong residents can participate together, in connection with the 'October Online Picnic' (hereafter ‘Picnic’).

The ‘Picnic,’ hosted by the Eunpyeong-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center (hereafter ‘Center’), has been conducting various online programs every month for Eunpyeong families through a dedicated website, including making Yutnori boards, mask straps, and storytelling.

In the October Picnic, multicultural families will also participate, selling various products such as handmade crafts, caricatures, and calligraphy.

The Center has self-help groups organized by country of origin, including China and Vietnam, as well as by interests such as cooking, reading, and childcare. In 2019, DagaON, a multicultural family exchange and communication space, was opened, and ongoing programs enabling natural exchanges between immigrants and Eunpyeong residents have been operated. This space allows participants to create crafts such as knot bracelets, plaster air fresheners, hair clips, and circular ribbons, or to learn caricature and calligraphy techniques.

This ‘Market’ is an opportunity to showcase the results of various programs promoted to facilitate exchanges between multicultural families and Eunpyeong residents. Along with the October Picnic, pre-registration for participation is open from October 19 to 22, and the event will be held from October 28 to 30. Participation is possible by accessing and signing up on the Eunpyeong Family Picnic website.
