Gwonseon-gu Multicultural Communication Through Kimchi-Making

Suwon City's Gwonseon-gu (District Head Kim Jung-su) held a "Traditional Food Experience: Kimchi-Making" event on the 23rd as the third project under its "Multicultural Family Communication Community" initiative.

At the event, female marriage migrants and volunteers used pre-prepared salted cabbage and basic seasonings to make kimchi for communication and bonding.

A marriage migrant woman who participated in the kimchi-making event said, "I thought making kimchi would be difficult, but it was fun doing it together with the volunteers, and I plan to try making it at home." She added, "Before participating in this event, I was introverted and stayed home all the time, but coming here has allowed me to make friends and gain practical living information, which has been very helpful. I hope to see even more diverse and numerous programs in the future."

An official from Gwonseon-gu stated, "We will continue to develop diverse policies so that multicultural families can take pride in our community, nurture a spirit of love for their hometown, and strengthen their sense of community as members of our region, enabling them to integrate into local society."
