First Gyeonggi-do Community Activists Day Held in Hwaseong

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hoon] The Gyeonggi-do Community Support Center announced on the 22nd that it held the 'First Gyeonggi-do Community Activists Day' from the 21st for one night and two days with approximately 100 community activists working in the Gyeonggi region at Lavidol Resort in Hwaseong City.

The event was planned to create a venue where community activists could share field issues and build solidarity, departing from the previous format of holding forums and workshops by region. The event was divided into forums, workshops, and networking sessions.

The forum titled 'How to Live as a Community Support Activist' addressed the necessity and improvement directions of policies related to community revitalization and community support activists deployed in each city and county, covering topics including ▲Gyeonggi-do's community support activist policy directions ▲2019 city and county community support activist status ▲the roles and identity of community support activists.
The workshop conducted under the name 'Three-Person Imaginative Village Gathering' was filled with time to share the process and results of village policies that began with residents' conversations and matured into policy.
Subsequently, during the networking session, play activities such as earthquake games and tag that fostered familiarity through physical movement, and network games created an opportunity for participants to get to know each other and find connection points.

Jang Bong-soo, Head of the Community Support Division at Gyeonggi-do, said, "Today's event holds great significance in that it was a meeting where activists working hard in their respective communities to promote community activities offered encouragement and support to one another. The 'Gyeonggi-do Community Activists Day' will continue to be promoted going forward, starting this year," he added.
