Gangnam-gu Hosts '100-Person Participatory Child Policy Ontact Grand Debate'

Selection of Future Key Tasks through Online Discussion on January 16... Recruitment of Participants via District Office Website until January 8

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will hold an "Ontact (Online Contact) Citizen Participation Child Policy Grand Debate" with 100 participants on January 16 next year to establish a mid- to long-term child-friendly city promotion plan.

Based on a comprehensive child survey conducted last year with 1,694 residents, the district derived six agenda items for the basic plan: play and leisure, participation and civic awareness, safety and protection, health and social services, educational environment, and residential environment.

The debate will be conducted through "group discussions" and "joint discussions" on the respective agenda items, and key promotion tasks for Gangnam-gu will be selected based on the opinions presented that day. These will be reflected in the upcoming "1st Gangnam-gu Child-Friendly City Four-Year (2022?2025) Basic Plan."

The debate will be held non-face-to-face using the video conferencing platform "Zoom."

Participants include children, child guardians, and workers at child-related facilities in the district. Applications can be submitted through the Gangnam-gu Office website by January 8 next year.

A small gifticon will be provided to participants.

Meanwhile, Gangnam-gu is striving to prepare various policies for future generations, including signing a business agreement with the UNICEF Korea Committee this year and joining the Child-Friendly City Local Government Council, as part of its key projects during the 7th local government administration to create a child-friendly city.
