On the evening of the 4th at 8 PM, Mapo-gu Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun attended the '14th Mapo Naru Salted Shrimp Festival Sangam Healing Concert' held at Jeil Art Hall in Sangam-dong.

At the Sangam Healing Concert, which marks the eve of the Mapo-gu representative festival, the Salted Shrimp Festival, a jazz performance by the opera group Le El was held.

Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun said, "I am glad to be able to gather with the residents and enjoy jazz music suitable for an autumn night in the With-Corona era," and added, "If there is any accumulated frustration and stress, I hope today’s concert will be a time to shake it all off."

Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) held a commissioning ceremony for the 'Yongsan-gu Child Rights Citizen Lecturers' on the 3rd at the Yongsan-gu mayor's office.

This is part of the UNICEF Child-Friendly City creation project. Citizen lecturers who completed the child rights citizen lecturer training were officially commissioned and will be dispatched as lecturers for 'visiting child rights education' for the next two years.

The lecturers will provide education on overall child rights, respect, and discrimination at child-related facilities such as local schools, child care facilities, and community child centers.

The district has been striving to create a UNICEF Child-Friendly City since 2019. Last year, it became the first autonomous district in Seoul to enact the 'Ordinance on Guaranteeing Children's Right to Play' and is actively promoting projects to guarantee children's rights, including operating a child rights citizen lecturer training course.

Mayor Seong Jang-hyun said, "We will continue child rights education so that a culture of respecting children can be established in the local community," and added, "We will create an environment where children can live happily through various child-friendly policies including education."
