Dongjak-gu Announces Contest to Promote Sharing of Spaces, Items, and Talents... Up to 5 Million KRW Support

Dongjak District residents' groups of 3 or more, organizations, and companies can apply by March 30... Support of 1 to 5 million KRW per project for sharing goods, spaces, talents, and more

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is promoting the "Dongjak-gu Sharing Promotion Contest Project" until the 30th to spread a sharing culture where residents participate and take the lead in sharing spaces, goods, talents, and more with neighbors.

The contest content is divided into four categories: space sharing centered on places such as shared kitchens, goods sharing such as childcare items and school uniforms, talent sharing such as knowledge and experience exchange, and other sharing activities like education that promote sharing.

Eligibility includes resident groups of three or more Dongjak-gu residents, non-profit organizations, small and medium enterprises, social enterprises, and sharing companies and organizations designated by Seoul City as of the announcement date.

The support scale ranges from 1 million KRW to a maximum of 5 million KRW per project. Considering the public interest and resident participation, 2 to 4 projects will be selected in April after the first review by the Dongjak-gu Sharing Promotion Committee and the second review by the Dongjak-gu Local Subsidy Review Committee.

Selected organizations will sign an agreement with the district in April and carry out the project from April to October.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the forms such as the plan from the Dongjak-gu website's notice announcement, filling them out, and then visiting the Dongjak-gu Office's Autonomous Administration Division or sending them via email (parkuk@dongjak.go.kr) by March 30.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Autonomous Administration Division.

Choi Hwanbong, head of the Autonomous Administration Division, said, "Sharing is the most effective way to increase the utility of resources, solve social problems, and enhance the convenience of residents," adding, "We hope for active participation in this contest project to revitalize the local community."

Meanwhile, last year, the district supported two sharing promotion projects, including home repairs and environmental cleanup for vulnerable households, with 7.87 million KRW.
