Multicultural Families Can Apply Through Local Community Centers Until the 25th

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 9th that the ‘Visiting Learning’ and ‘Career and College Admission’ projects, which support the stable settlement and healthy growth of children from multicultural families as members of our society, are proving helpful to actual participants, and that they are now recruiting participants and implementing organizations for this year’s projects.

Children from multicultural families who wish to receive visiting learning can apply through their local community service centers. The application period is two weeks from the 14th to the 25th, and the results of the selection will be announced on March 11 on the Hanultari website and notified individually via text message. Participants for the Career and College Admission project will be recruited after the implementing organizations are selected.

Additionally, organizations to carry out the visiting learning and career and college admission projects will be selected and a total of 320 million KRW will be supported for this year’s project budget. Applications will be accepted from the 18th to the 22nd.

The selection of project operators will be conducted by the Subsidy Review Committee, which will review submitted written materials such as project proposals and make the final selection based on evaluation criteria for each support area. Organizations wishing to carry out the projects can check the announcement details on the Seoul Metropolitan Government website (official notices) and submit application documents to the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Foreigners and Multicultural Affairs Office by 6 p.m. on the 22nd.

Meanwhile, last year, 1,230 people participated in the visiting learning support project, and 375 people participated in the career and college admission support project. Both projects received high satisfaction scores of 4.63 and 4.67 out of 5, respectively.

Kim Seon-soon, Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Women and Family Policy Office, said, “Seoul has been providing various supports to help the growth of children from multicultural families. We hope that students interested in this multicultural family children growth support project and capable organizations will actively participate, making it a great opportunity for children from multicultural families to grow into healthy members of our society.”
