[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk (Governor Shim Min) announced on the 1st that it has been operating a cooking class for middle-aged fathers every Friday from the 8th of last month to the 10th of next month, receiving enthusiastic responses.

This cooking class, titled "Master of Home-cooked Meals, Family Chef!", is conducted over a total of 10 sessions.

The program is being promoted by the Imsil-gun Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center as part of a family-friendly customized policy to help diverse families lead healthy family lives.

Center Director Kim Jonghee stated, "By conducting a daily cooking program with cooking experts, we prepared the event with the goal of overcoming COVID-19 and improving family relationships," adding, "Many fathers are actively participating, and the response is growing stronger."

In particular, it was prepared with the purpose of providing opportunities to establish a culture of gender equality, promote family health, and strengthen intimacy among family members, showing high satisfaction.

In this program, designed to enhance the role of fathers and improve relationships within families, about 10 fathers participate each week to learn cooking for their families.

The county expects that middle-aged fathers who have difficulties with household chores will be helped to activate their roles as proactive and voluntary fathers and to build healthy families through the cooking class.

Governor Shim Min said, "It is a great opportunity for the father generation, who are unfamiliar with cooking, to learn cooking themselves and prepare delicious meals for their families," adding, "We will work harder to develop family-friendly policies that resonate with various generations and age groups."
