Five Autonomous Districts in Gwangju Provide Livelihood Stabilization Support Funds to Culture and Arts Instructors

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Five autonomous districts of Gwangju Metropolitan City will provide support for instructors of cultural and artistic programs.

The Gwangju District Mayors' Council (Chairman Moon In) announced on the 4th that it has decided to provide livelihood stabilization support funds to instructors of public cultural facility programs who suffered damage due to the spread of COVID-19.

Accordingly, the five autonomous districts plan to pay a total of 492.5 million KRW, 500,000 KRW per person, to a total of 985 regular course instructors who were commissioned or contracted by each facility but could not operate the originally planned programs.

The support funds will be accepted by the facility management departments of each district office from the 8th to the 12th and will be paid in two installments on the 10th and 17th.

For recipients who work as instructors in multiple of the five autonomous districts, the payment can be received only once from the district where their resident registration address is located.

Moon In, chairman of the Gwangju District Mayors' Council, said, "This livelihood stabilization support fund is an issue on which all five district mayors agreed on the need to support cultural and artistic program instructors who are struggling due to COVID-19," adding, "The five autonomous districts will actively cooperate to ensure that the support funds are disbursed as quickly as possible."
