On the 11th, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 12th that it successfully held the ‘2023 Hwasun-gun Community Social Security Council (hereinafter referred to as the Council) Workshop’ at the Manyeon Hall of Hanium Culture and Sports Center.

This workshop, held to strengthen the capabilities of the Council members, was organized by the Hwasun-gun Community Social Security Council (Private Chairman Kim Seongsik).

About 250 people attended the workshop, including Public Chairman and Hwasun-gun Governor Gu Bokgyu, representative Council members, working-level Council members, public chairpersons of the 13 eup/myeon Councils who are eup/myeon heads, and private chairpersons.

The lecture at this workshop was delivered by Lee Yonggyo, a professor in the Department of Social Welfare at Gwangju University, under the theme of ‘Prevention and Discovery of Welfare Blind Spots.’

Through his lecture, Professor Lee emphasized the role and direction of the Council by stating, “The Community Social Security Council should take an interest in the dignified lives of the residents, and leaders should raise welfare awareness so that residents can utilize welfare systems.”

He added, “The eup/myeon Councils should focus on the continuous discovery of households in crisis, establishing a local human safety net for discovering blind spots and providing customized support, and discovering and linking community resources based on public-private cooperation.”

Public Chairman and Governor Gu Bokgyu said, “The Council plays a very important role in actively communicating with local residents and the government to resolve welfare blind spots, discover and link welfare resources, and establish a social security system,” and added, “Our county will continue to actively support demand-centered, life-close welfare services in cooperation with the Council.”

Private Chairman Kim Seongsik stated, “This capability enhancement workshop for members was prepared to provide practical help to vulnerable neighbors in welfare blind spots and to create a more tightly knit welfare safety net,” and said, “Let us all work together to create a Hwasun without welfare blind spots through the revitalization of the Council.”

Meanwhile, Hwasun-gun supports the budget for the Community Social Security Council to create a happy Hwasun where no neighbors are left behind, and the Council plans to promote events such as the welfare community harmony festival and welfare community workshops, starting with this year’s member capability enhancement workshop.
