Guro-gu Hosts the 3rd Intercultural Festival in Celebration of World Day

Community Participation Contest Videos, Intercultural Mini Talk Show, Celebration Performances, and More... YouTube Broadcast at 3 PM on the 20th... Local and Foreign Residents Participate in Event Preparation Process

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) will hold an online ‘Sangho Culture Festival’.

Guro-gu announced on the 18th, “To celebrate World Multicultural Day (May 20), we are preparing a place of harmony for communication and coexistence between domestic and foreign residents,” and “The event will be held online using YouTube to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

The ‘Sangho Culture Festival,’ now in its third year, was held under the name ‘World Multicultural Day Festival’ until last year. This festival was prepared together with the participation of the ‘Daga-chi Danuri Governance’ committee, composed of domestic and foreign residents of Guro-gu.

Before the festival, Guro-gu held a video contest for residents and local institutions. From April 21 to May 6, 29 videos were submitted on themes such as ‘What I think about Sangho Culture’ and ‘Reducing Environmental Pollution Caused by COVID-19.’ All videos will be screened during the festival.

The festival will be held on the 20th of this month from 3:00 PM for 1 hour and 40 minutes under the theme ‘Guro, a Sangho Culture City Made Together.’ It will feature various attractions including videos submitted by residents and institutions, introductions to Sangho Culture projects, and congratulatory performances.

A ‘Sangho Culture Mini Talk Show’ will also be held. In the talk show, Mayor Lee Seong will directly answer residents’ questions about Guro-gu’s Sangho Culture policies to resolve their curiosities.

The Sangho Culture Festival can be viewed by searching ‘Guro-gu Sangho Culture Festival’ on YouTube at the time of the event.

A Guro-gu official said, “In a situation where meetings have decreased due to COVID-19, we hope the Sangho Culture Festival will become an opportunity to closely connect domestic and foreign residents,” and “We will continue to prepare various policies to create a Sangho Culture city where all residents are happy.”

Meanwhile, Guro-gu was designated as the first ‘Sangho Culture City’ in Seoul in August last year, and in October of the same year, it achieved first place in the European Council’s Sangho Culture indicator evaluation. This year, on April 29, an organizational restructuring was carried out to change the Multicultural Policy Division to the Sangho Culture Policy Division.
