Changwon Special City Conducts 'Employee On(ON)line On(Warm) Family-Friendly Education' Program.

The education held on the 22nd was part of the ‘Yua-cha Project’ aimed at work-family balance, with 21 families and 45 participants including children aged 3 to 8. During the children’s spring break, the entire family participated to strengthen family bonds and to address the difficulty of fulfilling group education hours due to childcare, the program was conducted through real-time online education.

The education lasted for three hours and included activities such as opening the heart, strong body·strong mind·strong brain play, and happiness empathy play. It taught methods for parents and children to interact together, ways to provide a brain environment where the three elements of physical, emotional, and cognitive development can be integrated, and provided time for stress relief through various physical activities and transition to positive emotions.

Changwon Special City plans to conduct online child-rearing friendly education again in August during the summer vacation in the second half of the year.

Hong Sun-young, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, “In a time of serious low birthrate, establishing effective systems for work-family balance will help create a childcare-friendly organizational culture,” and added, “We will continue to support employees so that they can focus on their duties with a sense of family stability.”

Meanwhile, the Yua-cha Project for realizing a childcare-supportive Changwon City includes various policies such as expanding the welfare points given for childbirth congratulations (1 million won per child born), payment of allowances to substitutes for those on childbirth and childcare leave, and a childcare-supportive flexible work system, in addition to the online family-friendly education for child-rearing public officials.
