Geumcheon-gu Conducts Neighborhood Gochujang Making Event for People with and without Disabilities

Deaf and Hearing Participants Join Together for Traditional Gochujang Making Theory and Practice Education

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) held the “Neighborhood Gochujang Making Communicating in Sign Language with Deaf People” event on June 29th in the second-floor classroom of the Doksan Health Branch.

Geumcheon-gu provided simultaneous sign language interpretation for participants in collaboration with the Seoul Deaf Association Geumcheon Branch and the Geumcheon Sign Language Interpretation Center. This education program was jointly organized by the Geumcheon Public Health Center, Bakmi Health Branch, and Doksan Health Branch.

Despite the rainy weather, all 26 applicants attended. People with and without disabilities formed teams of four to learn the theory and practice of making gochujang. The gochujang they made was stored in glass jars and will be shared with low-income and marginalized residents as an act of community care.

One participant said, “It was a valuable time to learn about traditional gochujang and healthy food,” adding, “I would like to participate in other community health programs at Bakmi Health Branch and Doksan Health Branch.”

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “We will continue to operate community health programs so that no resident is left out and everyone can practice a healthy diet.”
