Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will hold the '2024 Gyeonggi Village Week' in Anyang City for three days from the 27th to the 29th.

Gyeonggi Village Week is an event where village activists and residents from across Gyeonggi gather to share their experiences and interact, serving as an opportunity to recognize the social value and positive influence of the Gyeonggi village community.

Gyeonggi Village Week is hosted and organized by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Village Community Support Center. This year’s event is particularly co-organized with 22 cities and counties within the province and the metropolitan village community network, with participation from related organizations such as the Gyeonggi Public Interest Activity Support Center and nationwide groups like the National Village Making Network.

The main event of Gyeonggi Village Week includes a two-day Village Knowledge Discourse Conference held on the 27th and 28th at the Kim Joong-up Architecture Museum in Anyang Art Park. This conference will address various perspectives on how villages are approaching and contributing to solving social challenges and concerns such as population extinction, disaster crises, isolation and alienation, revitalization of apartment complexes, climate crisis, and responses to consumerism, as well as issues like bridging the gap between the northern and southern parts of Gyeonggi.

Hong Seong-ho, Director of the Community Support Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "I hope that the third annual Gyeonggi Village Week will serve as an opportunity to raise awareness of the social value of village activities," adding, "We will continue to provide unwavering support so that activists can engage more actively in their activities."
