Notably, this year's event was planned and operated from a gender-sensitive perspective. Through pre-event training, organizers enhanced their awareness of gender equality, and both the hands-on activities and promotional materials were thoughtfully designed to ensure balance and avoid favoring any particular gender.

After the commemorative ceremony and the celebratory performance by the Gyeonggi Art Center, a variety of programs were held in the plaza in front of city hall, offering popcorn, slushies, and more. Activities included: ▲a child abuse prevention campaign (by the Guri Child Protection Agency), ▲a bubble and balloon show, ▲photo booth experiences, ▲keychain making, ▲caricatures, ▲traditional games, and ▲fire safety experiences, all providing a special delight for the children.
