6 Theory Classes and Field Trips from April to November... First 20 Students Enrolled in Cooperative School by 9th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is recruiting students for the '1st Cohesion School' to lower the entry barriers to cooperative governance.

'Cohesion' refers to a district administration method where residents participate in the entire process from policy decision-making to evaluation, solving community issues on their own.

The 'Cohesion School' is designed to provide education to residents who are interested in or want to learn about cooperative governance, aiming to increase understanding of cohesion overall and build consensus.

This education consists of six lectures, including ▲Understanding Cohesion ▲Exploring Cohesion ▲Field Study, covering the basic core content of cohesion and implementation methods.

The education will be held from April to November at the Jungnang-gu NPO Support Center (190 Bonghwasan-ro) and other locations, with online classes conducted concurrently depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Certificates will be issued to those who attend more than 80% of the entire course.

The recruitment target is residents of Jungnang-gu or workers at businesses within the area. Twenty participants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis through the Jungnang-gu Office website or Google Form by the 9th.

The district conducts various projects to spread the culture of cooperative governance administration, such as discovering cohesion agendas and cohesion education. Through public forums by region, division, and field, opinions are gathered on issues residents consider important, and education is provided to residents, public officials, and civic activists to strengthen cohesion capabilities.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “As the importance of cooperative governance, where the community solves its own problems, grows, we have prepared a solid curriculum. Through various programs, we will raise awareness of cohesion, strengthen communication capabilities, and establish a culture of cohesion throughout district administration.”
