[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) operates parent clubs to help strengthen parents' capabilities.

The parent club project, which started in 2015, allows groups of four or more parents from local elementary, middle, high, or special schools, or parents residing in Nowon-gu, to apply for club support.

Selected clubs receive activity funds ranging from 800,000 to 1,000,000 KRW. So far, over 1,000 people have participated.

The parent club support project, which provides opportunities for parents to enhance their skills and emotional exchange among members, as well as experiential learning opportunities with their children, selected a total of 17 teams last year. They actively engaged in various fields such as ▲reading, recitation, transcription ▲physical activities ▲crafting ▲volunteering and talent donation ▲culture and sex education.

In particular, the "Dad Futsal Group" received very high satisfaction from participating parents as they could exercise with their children and maintain their health. The plant cultivation club "Cho.Sa.Mo (Chorok-eul Saranghaneun Appadeul-ui Moim, meaning 'Dads Who Love Greenery')" was also evaluated as a beneficial activity during the COVID-19 situation, as parents and children could spend time communicating while raising companion plants.

The advantage of the parent club project is that it contributes not only to education within the home but also to revitalizing community education. Talent donation for local children and vulnerable groups, free experiential classes, and sharing events are representative examples.

For example, the modern and contemporary novel reading club "Explorer Geultamsadae" donated transcription notebooks and bookmarks to local libraries, and the Kelly balloon-making club "sheNabe (Shigo Nanugo Baeuja, meaning 'Rest, Share, Learn')" conducted talent donation classes at the Choansan Regional Children's Center.

Those who wish to apply for the parent club support project can submit the project application form and plan to the Education Support Division contact email at sun9352@nowon.go.kr.

The screening results will be announced on April 23.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, "The parent club support project is a project by parents for parents," adding, "We will actively support the formation of a village education community in Nowon-gu based on the autonomous activities of parents."
