Sinan-gun Holds 'Multicultural Family Together Camp' to Foster Future Capabilities

Speak Two Languages and Nurture Talent

Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) and the Shinan Office of Education held a 'Multicultural Family Accompanying Camp' for 12 multicultural families (52 people) in the district from the 22nd for 1 night and 2 days, aimed at developing future competencies along with bilingualism.

According to the county on the 25th, this camp was conducted as a unique program to help multicultural students establish their identity with pride based on their bilingual strengths by learning their mother's language, role-playing, and expanding understanding between parents and children, as well as resolving family conflicts arising from different cultures.

Multicultural students and their parents participated together, presenting family introductions, dances, and songs using bilingualism in a family talent show, allowing them to freely express their confidence and strengths, and enjoyed traditional Southeast Asian games, spending a joyful and meaningful time.

In particular, by understanding issues of conflict or discrimination faced by multicultural families through role-playing and empathizing with each other, it became a meaningful time where everyone could feel that they are one family without differences.

Additionally, the Shinan Welfare Foundation provided love goods worth approximately 3 million won and cultural gift certificates to the multicultural families and students participating in the camp, making the upcoming Chuseok holiday even more abundant.

Kim Kwang-myeong, chairman of the Multicultural Council, said, “I express my gratitude to the officials who helped create joyful memories and harmony within families, and I hope that there will be more diverse programs to boost the self-esteem of children from multicultural families in the future.”

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “Children from multicultural families have the advantage of naturally being exposed to two languages from an early age,” and added, “Shinan-gun will develop various programs to maximize their strengths and abilities and support them to grow into global talents without hesitation.”
