Kim Dong-yeon Fully Opens Dodamso, "Creating a Community Where Residents Trust and Live Together"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gab-dong] On May 25, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon spent time communicating with residents who visited Dodamso (former Governor's Official Residence).

The 'Dodamso Open House Event,' held for the first time this year, was organized to introduce Dodamso (168 Paldalro, Paldal-gu, Suwon City), newly established in the eighth popularly elected term, to residents, share it with them, and provide various attractions and entertainment. This is the first time the facility has opened its doors for an extended period to welcome all residents, rather than only those invited to specific events at Dodamso.

Governor Kim attended the 'Dodamso Open House Event' and said, "The principle when hosting events at Dodamso is to invite artists with disabilities to perform or display artworks by people with disabilities. There are many people around us who are struggling, facing difficulties, and suffering. If we extend a warm hand and show interest, even just a little, Gyeonggi Province will become a place where people can truly live."

He continued, "It is now an era where sustainable growth is impossible without living together. I hope Gyeonggi Province will become a place where we can all grow together both qualitatively and quantitatively, so that our residents can build a community in a human world where we trust and live together."

Governor Kim served as a 'one-day guide,' escorting residents visiting Dodamso, and introduced various resident communication and international exchange events previously held at Dodamso.

At the same time, residents showed great interest in the international exchange exhibition hall recreating international events and the 'Dodamso Holds Residents' Wishes' performance, where residents carved their wishes directly onto ceramic sculptures.

Meanwhile, the 'Dodamso Open House Event,' which began on May 25, will continue until 6 p.m. on May 26 and consists of various programs including ▲Dodamso Exhibition Hall ▲Cultural Performances ▲Independent Film Screening ▲Auxiliary Experiences. As part of the province's RE100 achievement and carbon neutrality policy initiatives, eco-friendly events including renewable energy purchases and the use of reusable cups will also be held.
