On the afternoon of the 17th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held an opening ceremony for the 'Changwon City Jinhae Family Center' on the first floor of the Yongwon-dong Complex Public Parking Building in Jinhae-gu, aimed at promoting happy family life for diverse families.

The opening ceremony was attended by Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City; Kim I-geun, Chairman of the Changwon Special City Council; Park Seon-ae, Chairperson of the Economic Welfare and Women’s Committee; provincial and city council members; as well as over 100 multicultural families and local residents.

On the 17th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held an opening ceremony for the 'Changwon City Jinhae Family Center' on the first floor of the Yongwon-dong Complex Public Parking Building in Jinhae-gu.

The establishment of this center is a result of the 8th term public pledge project to quickly and thoroughly build a safety net in the Yongwon area, where many foreign residents and multicultural families live. From January to April this year, the center was equipped with facilities covering 356㎡, including offices, counseling rooms, and lecture rooms for various programs, and is now ready for citizen use.

In particular, services that had been limited to space rental and outreach due to the absence of a dedicated organization are now operated year-round with the establishment of a dedicated family business organization and the deployment of dedicated personnel in Jinhae-gu, laying the foundation for demand-centered service provision.

Mayor Hong said, “We will spare no support to play a significant role in fostering community harmony and becoming a reliable neighbor through support for basic learning enhancement and school adaptation for children of multicultural families and children who immigrated mid-way, learning support for school readiness, as well as education, counseling, and family cultural experiences for family life. We hope this center will become a central space where diverse families can visit anytime.”
