Community Revitalization Through 'Village Communities,' Understand Properly and Find Vitality...Yongin City Conducts Understanding Education

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hoon] Yongin City is preparing 'village community understanding education' that introduces 'village communities' in an easy-to-understand manner to spread the culture of a shared community, and is recruiting participants.

A village community refers to a community in which residents take the initiative to decide and implement matters related to the village.

The city selected 72 village communities through a public recruitment project this year.

Staff from the city's Village Community Support Center will serve as education instructors, explaining basic concepts such as the definition and role of village communities and methods for participating in public recruitment projects in an easy-to-understand manner.

Participants will also have time for free question-and-answer and discussion on the topic of 'the village community I envision.'

The education application target is 100 people, including beginner village community activists or residents interested in village communities.

The education will be held in three sessions at Yongin City Youth Training Center (30 people) on the 27th, Sanggal-dong Administrative Welfare Center in Giheung-gu (50 people) on the 29th, and Suji-gu Office (20 people) on the 1st of next month.

Interested citizens can apply by accessing the online link (bit.ly/22년마을공동체이해교육). Applications can be made until the day before the event.

A city official said, "We have prepared this education to help residents understand village communities," and added, "We hope that many citizens will gain various information about village communities, which will serve as a medium for resident harmony, through this opportunity."

Meanwhile, the city will hold a 'village community field-specific network workshop' from the 20th to the 22nd of next month targeting village communities currently active this year and village communities that participated last year, creating a forum for exchanging activity information and experiences.
