The first part will proceed with awards for social welfare meritorious persons, awards for resident participation contests, and screening of on-site interview videos. The videos include voices of about 30 people such as social welfare workers, volunteers, and residents.

The second part consists of a public-private-academic agreement ceremony, a neighborhood welfare university agreement ceremony, presentations of excellent cases of neighbor care, and a social welfare practice pledge performance.

Participants in the public-private-academic agreement ceremony include Hong Gi-yoon, president of the Dong Community Security Council Federation (resident), Choi Ae-young, president of the Seodaemun-gu Social Welfare Council (private), Seokjin Moon, mayor of Seodaemun-gu (public), and Sangmi Jo, professor at Ewha Womans University and chairperson of the Seodaemun Community Security Council (academia), who are the main driving forces of the local welfare community.

The event will be held using the large screen of the Smart Space inside the Seodaemun-gu Lifelong Learning Center and Convergence Talent Education Center (49, Yeonhui-ro 36-gil).

The 100 welfare representatives will participate in real-time using the online video conferencing program (Zoom). Also, anyone can watch the festival by searching "Seodaemun-gu Social Welfare Fair" on YouTube.

Seokjin Moon, mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, "I hope this will be a time for those involved in social welfare who protect the field without pause despite the unprecedented situation caused by COVID-19 and residents who are the main actors of the local welfare community to encourage each other and become one."
