[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) recently signed an agreement with Cooperative Platform Cafe Uiwut and Social Cooperative Happiness Plus for the 2021 Sharing Promotion Project.

Earlier this year, the district conducted a public contest for the Sharing Promotion Project under the theme of "Achieving sustainable urban development through sharing activities in the private sector," and selected these two companies through a review last month.

The project period is from this month until November of this year, and the district will provide a total of 15 million KRW in project funds to these companies.

Cooperative Platform Cafe Uiwut, located in Hong Eun 2-dong, offers its cafe free of charge every Sunday as a space for resident network formation through the "Our Neighborhood Sunday Sharing Lounge" project, and opens youth entrepreneurship lectures and zero-waste practice programs.

Youth can attend online content production lectures here and borrow equipment for hands-on practice.

Additionally, the project "Sunday Little Green Lounge" is conducted for families with children to practice eco-friendly living, such as reducing the use of disposable products.

The cafe provides access to coffee machines, and management staff are stationed to ensure compliance with social distancing and cleanliness.

Social Cooperative Happiness Plus provides advertising space on the sides and rear of six box trucks.

Institutions, organizations, and companies within Seodaemun-gu utilize this space and donate the corresponding fees.

For example, a restaurant places advertisements on box trucks operating within Seodaemun-gu and neighboring districts, providing meal coupons for vulnerable residents.

Mayor Moon Seok-jin of Seodaemun-gu said, "We will continue to actively support private sharing activities to achieve sustainable urban development, foster neighborly networks and sharing, and solve social problems."
