[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) is recruiting participants for the ‘2021 Village Community Resident Public Contest Project,’ where residents lead projects needed in their village, from the 15th to March 11th.

The district will receive project proposals in three categories: neighbor-making, community meeting activation, and specialization, selecting 85 teams on April 8th and supporting each team with 1 million to 3 million KRW.

Groups of three or more people residing or living in Gangnam-gu can participate, and applications can be submitted through the Seoul Village Community Comprehensive Support Center website.

The district will conduct preliminary consultations via online video meetings and hold workshops for prospective applicants.

After selecting project operators, training on subsidy execution standards and how to use the subsidy management system will be provided. A performance report meeting will be held in November to share the activity process and project details.

This year, we will also hold the ‘Mimiwi Village School,’ ‘Village Community Forum,’ and ‘Village Academy’ to strive to establish a resident autonomy foundation befitting ‘Sympathetic Administrative City, Gangnam.’”
