Yangcheon-gu, Recruiting 'Morak(Mok) Morak(Mok)' Clubs That Are More Fun Together

Recruitment of Public-Private Partnership Clubs for Promoting Collaborative Governance Culture from 1st to 22nd

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is recruiting members for the 'Morak(Morak)' Civil-Government Cooperation Club from February 1 to 22 to promote a culture of collaborative governance.

'Morak(Morak)' carries the dual meaning of "It is enjoyable to gather, and the more we gather, the more enjoyable it becomes" and "a civil-government cooperation club where collaborative governance is bubbling up."

This is a unique pride of Yangcheon-gu where residents and public officials, sharing the common goal of solving local issues together, freely select topics and participate in the entire process of collaborative governance through club activities.

The district has been operating this project since 2019 under the motto "Collaborative governance begins with the meeting of citizens and government," and although the activity period is short, it has laid the foundation for collaborative governance in various ways.

In particular, during last year’s online public forum 'Yangcheon Value Square,' held non-face-to-face due to COVID-19, many club members participated in real-time, contributing to the selection of collaborative governance agenda priorities for 2021, expressing diverse opinions on the agenda, and providing ideas for the production format (video) when planning the collaborative governance white paper, thereby contributing to the activation of civil-government cooperation.

The civil-government cooperation clubs being recruited this time will be active from March to December.

The composition requirements are residents and public officials numbering at least 5 and no more than 10, who can freely select topics that contribute to the activation of collaborative governance culture (such as watching collaborative governance-related films, book clubs, etc.) and carry out activities.

Those wishing to participate can refer to the notice on the Yangcheon-gu Office website or navigate to Yangcheon-gu Office website → Communication and Participation → Yangcheon Cooperation → Cooperation Bulletin Board, fill out the application form, and submit it via email (jywddy@seoul.go.kr) by February 22.

Based on the submitted documents, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted on the contribution to the establishment and activation of collaborative governance culture, including operation topics, operation plans, sustainability, and civil-government ratio, and the final selection results will be announced on February 25.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, "As collaborative governance is being emphasized as a new direction for solving local problems, we are gradually increasing opportunities for direct communication between citizens and government," and added, "We hope more people participate and that the culture of collaborative governance spreads."
