[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced that from the 2nd to the 3rd, 28 members including the 'Changwon City Children's Council' child councilors and child rights advocates embarked on a tour of the National Assembly, a representative deliberative institution of our country.

This Changwon City Children's Council learning trip, co-hosted by the city, the city council, and the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation, was organized to promote children's right to participate and foster their growth as healthy democratic citizens.

By visiting places such as the National Assembly and the Blue House, which children usually only encounter through news or newspapers, the children had the opportunity to see, hear, and experience firsthand, creating a chance to develop a proper understanding of a democratic nation.

The Changwon City Children's Council consists of 26 children aged 10 to 15 residing in Changwon Special City and held its inauguration ceremony on April 13.

Through activities in three standing committees, children recognize issues concerning community interests, share opinions with each other, and propose policies, playing a role where children can voice themselves as subjects of rights.

No Mal-nam, Director of the Child and Youth Division, said, "Although the time is short, I hope this will be a good opportunity to feel and reconsider the functions and true meaning of democracy, which was only known through books," adding, "I hope and support that through children's council activities, they will develop qualities as democratic citizens and grow into great future leaders."

Meanwhile, during their one-year term, Changwon City child councilors will actively engage in children's council activities such as proposing and discussing Changwon City children's policies and promoting children's rights.
