[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is actively promoting the '2021 Neighbor Making' contest project, the first step toward creating a community where everyone can live well together in Songpa.

'Neighbor Making' is a project that supports various community activities to form village communities targeting new resident groups in each neighborhood.

The contest fields include education, childcare, environment, culture, safety, and any other areas aimed at communicating with neighbors and making the village a better place to live, allowing free proposals in any field.

This year, to discover more new resident groups, the district plans to implement the project in all 27 neighborhoods of Songpa-gu, providing 1 million KRW per project. Any new resident group or organization with three or more members residing or having a living base (workplace, school) in the respective neighborhood can apply.

Applications will be accepted for four days from May 25 to May 28, and submissions can be made by visiting each neighborhood community center or via email to the person in charge.

For more details, check the Songpa-gu Office and Songpa-gu Village Autonomy Center websites or contact the Songpa-gu Office Autonomy Administration Division or the respective neighborhood community center.

Mayor Park Seong-su of Songpa-gu said, “Through the Neighbor Making project, residents who are starting village community activities for the first time will have opportunities to communicate directly or indirectly with neighbors in our neighborhood and become more interested in our village.” He added, “We hope many new residents will participate to encourage and revitalize the village, especially as we support each other during the hardships caused by COVID-19.”
