Dongdaemun-gu 'All Departments New Deal Ideas' Contest

Final Selection of Ideas from 11 Departments... Weekly Challenge to Implement One Idea Each Week

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) announced on the 20th that a total of 11 New Deal ideas from various departments were finally selected as a result of soliciting ‘New Deal ideas from all departments’ to secure momentum for promoting New Deal policies.

‘New Deal ideas from all departments’ was planned with the purpose of promoting the Korean New Deal and Dongdaemun-gu New Deal policies led by the government, aiming to incorporate green, digital, and safety net strengthening New Deals into daily life with a small budget.

During the approximately one-month solicitation period, 58 ideas were submitted from 54 departments and community service centers, and 11 easily implementable New Deal ideas were finally selected.

The district office stated that it plans to carry out the ‘Let’s do it together! New Deal Challenge in daily life,’ practicing one idea per week based on the selected themes.

Also, the idea of ‘Installing storage boxes for reusing coffee carriers’ from the Senior and Disabled Welfare Division is currently being implemented within the department.

‘Installing storage boxes for reusing coffee carriers’ is an idea to install storage boxes for each cafe using document storage boxes, and when a certain amount of carriers are collected, they are returned to each coffee shop or reused.

It is expected to have a twofold effect by reducing the amount of waste disposal and lowering the purchase costs of carriers for nearby businesses.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “Small practices in daily life can become a butterfly effect that brings about great changes,” and added, “Dongdaemun-gu will continue to move forward tirelessly to promote New Deal policies that all residents can feel, along with the small practices of all employees.”
