Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Promotes Citizen Happiness Club Support Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 27th that it has finalized the recipients of this year's Citizen Happiness Club support and will provide a total project fund of 20 million won.

During the two weeks from March 8 to 19, a total of 79 clubs applied for the '2021 Citizen Happiness Club Support Project Contest.'

Gwangsan-gu, after the Citizen Happiness Club Review Committee's evaluation and local subsidy deliberation, selected 21 clubs as final recipients and plans to support each club with activity funds ranging from 800,000 to 1.2 million won.

The Citizen Happiness Club Support Project provides activity funds to groups or communities of five or more Gwangsan-gu citizens who share the same tastes and hobbies, aiming to increase happiness through voluntary participation and the formation of good relationships.

Reflecting last year's citizen happiness survey results, which showed that maintaining good relationships with family and having many friends tend to increase happiness expectations five years later, Gwangsan-gu doubled the support scale this year.

On the 26th, Gwangsan-gu held a meeting with the selected clubs to introduce them and provide education on subsidy execution methods.

Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, “When people with similar tastes or orientations gather and engage in activities, their sense of happiness grows, as does satisfaction in family and social life. We will wholeheartedly support and back the happiness cultivated in the clubs so that it can be shared evenly with family and neighbors.”
