Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Center Calls for Proposals on Village Problem-Solving Agendas... Until the 10th of Next Month

Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Promotion Institute is accepting proposals for agenda items to be discussed in the community problem-solving education project until the 10th of next month.

The Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Promotion Institute is accepting proposals for 10 village agenda items to be discussed in the '2023 Education to Change Our Village through Participation' project, which aims to solve village problems through voluntary citizen participation, until the 18th of next month.

This project aims to realize village democracy by having citizens themselves identify various problems in villages across the province and participate in solving them through the 'Living Lab' method.

The Living Lab is a method where citizens define and discuss problems with experts in their living spaces and directly find solutions to everyday issues.

Examples include citizens designating allowable times for double parking within apartment complexes to resolve double parking issues, and conducting campaign activities to address illegal dumping problems in the village.

The recruitment target is village communities, groups, or clubs consisting of 5 to 20 members residing or active within the province. Application fields include common village agendas such as human rights, environment, gender equality, multiculturalism, and conflicts.

The Lifelong Education Promotion Institute supports the problem-solving process by dispatching experts and providing activity funds to the selected groups.

Groups wishing to participate can visit the institute’s website, fill out the proposal application form, and send it via email to pwj@gill.or.kr.

Namyangho, Director of the Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, stated, "We hope that the Education to Change Our Village through Participation will become a starting point for the spread of village democracy throughout the province."
