A Child-Friendly City Where Children's Voices Blossom and Their Dreams Grow

On September 16, Gumi City held the appointment ceremony for the 6th Gumi City Child Participation Committee at the Gumi Visual Media Center, appointing 45 new child committee members.

The Child Participation Committee is an organization where children aged 9 to under 18 directly provide opinions and advice throughout the process of establishing and implementing child-related policies in the city.

The members of this 6th committee were selected through a public recruitment process and institutional recommendations in August. They will participate in a variety of activities over the next two years.

The appointment ceremony included the presentation of appointment certificates, an introduction to the Child Participation Committee and the concept of a child-friendly city, education on children's rights, policy proposals, the election of executive members, the formation of subcommittees, and discussions on future directions.

Meanwhile, since launching the first committee in July 2017, Gumi City has appointed a total of 256 children as committee members through the 6th term, striving to incorporate fresh ideas into municipal administration.

Park Yongja, head of the Child Care Division, stated, "We will do our best to create a child-friendly city where the rights of children are respected and guaranteed," and added, "I look forward to the committee members' creative policy proposals and active participation."
