Wanju-gun Forms Care Network for 'Neighbors Caring Together for Children'

'Community Childcare Sharing Space Care Cooperative'... 33 Families, 79 Participants

Wanju-gun, Jeonbuk, is set to fully launch the 'Shared Childcare Cooperative Program' at the Community Childcare Sharing Centers to reduce childcare burdens and add joy for families with children.

According to Wanju-gun on the 21st, the Shared Childcare Cooperative is a group of parents and children who create a child-rearing friendly social environment by neighbors caring for each other's children together. Two Community Childcare Sharing Centers are operated in Yongjin-eup and Samnye-eup.

This year, 10 groups consisting of 33 families and 79 participants are involved in the Shared Childcare Cooperative, with support from the Wanju-gun Family Center. On the 16th and 17th, the county held training for new cooperative participants and a general meeting.

The training provided an understanding of the cooperative activities and explained the types of activities, offering direct assistance in managing the cooperative groups. During the general meeting, participants enjoyed traditional folk games for Jeongwol Daeboreum, strengthening the bonds among cooperative members.
