Ministry of the Interior and Safety to Hold 'Gwanghwamun 1beonga Open Communication Forum' on the 28th

'Comma for Everyone, Creating a Workplace Where You Can Rest Comfortably' Topic

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 27th that it will hold the Gwanghwamun 1st Street Open Communication Forum on the 28th under the theme "A Comma for Everyone, Creating Workplaces Where You Can Rest Comfortably."

The 5th Open Communication Forum was organized to gather public opinions on creating workplaces where employees can rest, such as promoting the use of vacation at work and support systems for rest due to illness or injury, and to reflect these in policies. The forum, held online, consists of Part 1, a public forum broadcast on YouTube, and Part 2, small group discussions via Zoom, open to all citizens.

Part 1 will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel "Gwanghwamun 1st Street Open Communication Forum." Han In-im, Secretary General of Work and Health, will present on the theme "Making South Korea a Place Where You Can Rest When Sick," and Kim Min-a, a certified labor attorney at Dodam Law Firm, will speak on "Rest, Holidays, Vacation, Leave - Workplace Rest Systems."

Part 2 will be conducted as small group discussions to develop policy proposals. Fifty citizens who applied in advance will engage in more in-depth discussions with professional facilitators to develop policy proposals.

The various public opinions proposed at this Open Communication Forum will be finalized into policy proposals through a maturation forum (first week of August), reviewed by the relevant ministries, and reflected in policies.

Meanwhile, this year's Open Communication Forums have addressed four topics closely related to citizens' daily lives online during the first half of the year, gathering public opinions on daily recovery, environmental protection, and pedestrian safety improvements.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to continue holding Open Communication Forums on various topics closely related to citizens' lives until November. Han Chang-seop, Director of Government Innovation Organization at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, "We will hold forums on topics that citizens can feel directly and strive to ensure that proposals discovered in the forums are reflected in policies."
