Gwangju Seo-gu 'Daily Walking Project Performance Report Meeting' Successfully Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim I-gang) announced on the 7th that it successfully held the daily walking project performance report meeting at the Deulbul Hall of Seo-gu Office.

The event, attended by about 70 walking instructors and walking club members, was organized to share the achievements of the walking activation project operated to spread the culture of daily walking practice.

The program included presentations of walking instructors' activity cases, this year's walking project performance report, and professional instructor training under the theme "Let's Walk FUN," followed by a discussion on ways to activate walking projects for Seo-gu residents next year.

Since starting the walking project in 2016, Seo-gu has trained 839 walking instructors to date and has continuously made efforts to spread the culture of walking practice among residents through activities such as the correct walking promotion group, on-site walking education, and barefoot walking projects.

In particular, since this year, to promote the health of residents whose physical activity has decreased due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, various walking challenges using the WalkOn app have been operated, receiving high responses.

Walking instructor Kim, who participated in the event, said, "I am proud to have the opportunity to volunteer by providing walking education to residents as a walking instructor," and added, "I hope many Seo-gu residents will come to know and practice walking."

If you want to participate in walking instructor training or learn about walking, you can contact the Health Policy Team of Seo-gu Public Health Center.
