Suwon Multicultural Family Support Center Holds Launch Ceremony for Multicultural Family Clubs

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] A launch ceremony for Suwon multicultural family clubs was held on the 13th at the Suwon Multicultural Family Support Center.

The launch ceremony brought together approximately 50 members from five clubs: △Love Korean Culture (Korean cultural experiences, Korean cooking) △Environment~I Love You (community clean-up activities, upcycling crafts) △Ukulele Tutoring (ukulele performances, street performances) △Food Connecting Hearts (cooking from various countries) △Hobby In (visits to popular spots, hiking, crafts, etc.).

The multicultural family clubs, composed of marriage migrants from various countries including China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand, are scheduled to conduct various activities through December.

Suwon City publicly recruited organizations and groups to participate in the "2023 Multicultural Family Club Activation Support Project" in February.

A city official said, "We hope that club activities where members experience diverse activities and share information will help marriage migrants settle early into Korean society" and added, "We will make efforts to create a local community where native residents and multicultural neighbors coexist harmoniously."
