Gwonseon 2-dong Operating 'Let's Take a Walk Around the Neighborhood' Traditional Play Program

The Gwonseon 2-dong Traditional Play Residents Preparation Committee (Chairman Jeon Gyeong-suk) in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon announced on the 30th that it has operated "Let's Take a Walk Around the Neighborhood" as part of traditional play activities on the third Saturday of every month beginning in May.

The committee held a traditional play festival featuring games such as Bisukchigi and Sangangi at Dasoom Children's Park in Gwonseon-dong (next to Yeryang Kindergarten) from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the 19th.

This event is being promoted with support from the Village Renaissance Center and the Gwonseon 2-dong Resident Autonomous Center, and has been conducted since 2008 to inherit disappearing traditional folk play culture and promote healthy play culture.

Through these games, multiple participants can develop community consciousness while moving together, and both children and adults can enjoy benefits including language development, cognitive development through play, and improved creative expression abilities.

Going forward, Gwonseon 2-dong plans to hold various play activities on June 16 on the road in front of Seonil Elementary School, including Dano seasonal festivities, traditional games, making Jangmyeongru, wrestling, Changpo water, and sharing half-sized food.

The district also plans to continue events on July 21 and September 15.
