Operation of 'Visiting Resident Participatory Budget School' in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 15th that it will operate a demand-oriented "Visiting Resident Participatory Budget School" to enhance citizens' understanding and participation in the resident participatory budgeting system.

Since last year, Gwangsan-gu has transformed the Resident Participatory Budget School into a visiting format, lowering the barriers to the resident participatory budgeting system and supporting active citizen participation.

This year, in addition to on-site education, the target audience will be expanded to include youth, adolescents, and foreign residents. To identify the needs of various citizen groups and reflect them in policies, a demand-oriented customized curriculum will be operated.

The education will be held 19 times at 17 locations (including 12 neighborhoods) from the 16th to May 27th. The curriculum focuses on the basic understanding of the resident participatory budgeting system and how to write participatory budget proposals. In particular, proposal writing, which residents find difficult, will be taught through practical exercises to enhance understanding and lead to concrete proposals.

A "Resident Participatory Budget Proposal On-site Reception Desk" will also be operated to collect various proposals for the development of district administration.

The Visiting Resident Participatory Budget School is open to all Gwangsan-gu citizens without any separate application process. Specific education locations and schedules can be found in the notices on the "Gwangsan-gu Resident e-Participation" and "Gwangsan-gu Resident Participatory Budget Website."
