Recruitment of Participating Groups for the 'Village Community Contest Project' in Seo-gu, Gwangju

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 9th that it is recruiting communities to participate in the ‘2022 Resident-led Village Community Contest Project’ to solve village problems by residents themselves and revitalize the village community until the 4th of next month.

Eligibility to apply includes resident groups or organizations with five or more members (three members for Neighbour Making, youth and adolescent clubs) who have an address in or are active in Seo-gu and have interest and affection for village activities.

This project will select about 108 village communities by investing a budget of 411 million KRW across 14 fields including Neighbour Making, club formation, youth and adolescent clubs, village communities, and apartment communities.

In particular, this year, the village community contest project fields have been expanded to 14 with the goal of ‘Village Community Reboot.’

Seo-gu plans to foster village communities reflecting residents’ opinions by applying the use of community spaces, a representative agenda item of the 2021 Seo-gu Village Policy Assembly, and climate change response practice movements throughout the contest project.

A Seo-gu official said, “Through this project, we hope to solve local problems based on diverse resident participation and create sustainable village communities that reflect the characteristics of the village.”

For more details, refer to the notice section on the Seo-gu Office website or contact the Seo-gu Village Community Comprehensive Support Center.

An informational video about the contest project will also be posted on the ‘Seo-gu Village Center’ YouTube channel.
