Paldal-gu Hwaseo 1-dong Conducts Second Green Leader Training Program

Hwaseo 1-dong Community Service Center in Paldal-gu (Head Park Won-jeung-yeon) conducted the second Green Leader training program over two days starting from the 17th, targeting approximately 40 residents.

This training marks the second Green Leader development program following the first session. Targeting residents with an interest in the environment, the program held collective training on methods for reducing electric energy consumption, improving building energy efficiency, and village energy design to establish green living practices among residents. As an optional component, participants also attended a workshop involving a site visit to the Hwaseo 1-dong residential complex, which was designated as a green energy demonstration village.

The Green Leader training program is conducted by Hwaseo 1-dong in partnership with the Suwon Agenda 21 Promotion Council to expand greenhouse gas emissions reduction initiatives and create a green city where nature and people coexist. The program nurtures green leaders (environmental activists) who take the lead in carbon point system enrollment campaigns and green living practice promotion activities as Suwon climate guardians. With an annual target of training 100 leaders, a total of 61 leaders have been trained to date.

Hwaseo 1-dong Head Won Jeung-yeon stated, "Hwaseo 1-dong is operating diverse projects under the slogan of a low-carbon green village to respond to climate change, including automatic recycling collection systems, green shops, open market operations, solar power generation projects, and rainwater storage installations." She added, "We hope that through the active engagement of green leaders, many residents will participate in creating a low-carbon green village."
