Seoul City is holding the 'Seoul Children's Policy Presentation Contest' on the afternoon of the 7th at the Seoul City Hall Multipurpose Hall to reflect children's ideas in actual policies.

Over 80 children discovered 17 policy ideas through policy evaluation, discussions, and field visits over the past six months.

In the field of children's rights, proposals included safe stopping of shared electric kickboards, creation of customized playgrounds to guarantee children's right to play, and essential traffic safety education tailored for children.

In the field of child-friendly space creation, ideas such as establishing safe parks where children and companion dogs coexist, creating natural ecological playgrounds, and smartphone map app ideas for children were presented.

In the field of children's education, proposals included support for school life adaptation for children from diverse cultures.

The city will select excellent policies (5 teams) through judges' evaluation and on-site voting by participating children and award the Seoul Mayor's Prize.

The selected excellent policies will be reflected in the 'Child-Friendly City Phase 2 Basic Plan' to be established next year and turned into policies.

The presentation contest will also be broadcast live online on Seoul City's YouTube channel, featuring various celebratory performances such as recreation, drawing performances, taekwondo, and dance.

Kim Seonsun, Director of the Seoul City Women's and Family Policy Office, said, "We will actively review each policy idea proposed by over 80 children and reflect them in city administration."
