[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) is recruiting students to participate in the ‘2020 Communication Facilitator Training Program,’ which is operated to enhance communication skills and revitalize the local community, until the 6th.

The ‘Communication Facilitator’ is a moderator who helps mature dialogue and discussion take place. The program is operated in two courses: the Resident Autonomous Mediation Course for Community Restoration, which educates on conflict analysis theory and practice, mediation law basics, communication skills, and questioning techniques; and the Facilitator Course, which explains various discussion methods to assist horizontal dialogue.

The Resident Autonomous Mediation Course, held every Tuesday and Thursday from the 3rd to the 12th at the 4th-floor conference room of the district office main building, will be taught by lawyer Kim Hee-kyung. The Facilitator Course, held on the 9th at the Gangnam iCOOP Cooperative Education Center (634 Gaepo-ro), will be conducted by Professor Lee Dae-hoon of Sungkonghoe University.

The number of recruits is 15 for each program, and applications can be submitted through the Gangnam-gu district office website or the Gangnam-gu Village Community Support Center blog.

Lee Su-jin, Director of the Resident Autonomy Division, said, “Through the spirit of ‘Mimiwi Gangnam,’ which means to cooperate, consider, and respect, we will strive to create a ‘Sympathetic Administrative City’ where residents, villages, and administration harmoniously communicate.”
