[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) has produced and distributed children's safety education materials to local daycare centers and kindergartens to ensure proper safety education that supports the healthy growth of children.

In a situation where external safety education was limited due to COVID-19, the district collaborated with the Children's Safety School Association at the end of January to produce 2,400 copies of the children's safety education book "Children's Safety 365 Days" and distributed them to local daycare centers and kindergartens to support internal safety education at childcare institutions.

Previously, from November 9 to December 9 last year, the district conducted non-face-to-face safety education for daycare centers and kindergartens.

Through the district's YouTube channel "Yeonggu-ne," a 50-minute children's safety education musical titled "The Best Safety Captain" was temporarily screened for one month.

The district conducted a survey among viewers at that time and reflected the various responses obtained in the production of "Children's Safety 365 Days."

The 2,400 copies of the completed children's safety education materials were distributed to 276 daycare centers and kindergartens in the area, with 8 copies per institution, making it convenient for children and teachers to use.

"Children's Safety 365 Days" includes prevention and response methods for numerous disasters and accidents that children may encounter in daily life, including the recently essential COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

Contents include ▲traffic safety ▲playground safety ▲fire prevention ▲proper use of mobile phones and television ▲sexual violence prevention ▲missing child prevention, among others.

This book is basically designed to be suitable as safety education material for teachers to use with children at daycare centers or kindergartens.

Additionally, illustrations were added to make it easy for children to understand and to engage their interest.

The district plans to gradually expand non-face-to-face safety education using YouTube and other platforms while monitoring the COVID-19 situation. Furthermore, if the risk of COVID-19 infection is resolved, face-to-face education such as children's safety education musicals held at actual theaters or visiting safety education programs are also under consideration.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "The need for safety education is increasingly emphasized in the situation where face-to-face education has been reduced due to COVID-19," and added, "We hope that the children's safety education materials produced this time will help improve the safety awareness level of our growing children."
