Jointly organized by the Gwangju Social Service Institute and Gwangju Health University, the "Gwangju Social Service Integrated Expo" was held for two days from the 12th to the 13th at the Kim Daejung Convention Center.

Under the theme "Everyday Life Shining Tomorrow," the event showcased social services in seven key areas closely related to citizens' daily lives: welfare, healthcare, education, employment, housing, culture, and environment.

During the event, 85 experience and promotional booths were operated, offering a variety of programs and hands-on counseling and activities tailored to all stages of life. In particular, participation from family visitors stood out.

The healing spaces, photo zones, souvenir giveaways, and prize events at the venue also added vibrancy with active citizen participation. One attendee commented, "It was a meaningful opportunity to experience and understand social services up close in daily life."

On the 14th, Jung Younghwa, Director of the Welfare and Health Bureau, stated, "Through this expo, we aimed to raise awareness that social services are a right all citizens should enjoy in their everyday lives," adding, "We will continue to realize Gwangju-style social services that citizens can relate to and participate in."
