Gwonseon District Seodun-dong Holds Outreach Tong-jang Meeting

The Seodun-dong Community Center in Gwonseon District (Chief Min Wan-sik) held its August tong-jang meeting at an outdoor plaza within the grounds of the former Seoul Agricultural Life Sciences University due to power shortages necessitating reduced air conditioning usage.

The tong-jang meeting, held as part of the original plan to conduct outreach meetings at current issues sites in Seodun-dong and Tap-dong to implement on-site administration, engaged in in-depth discussions on current agenda items including the opening of the former Seoul Agricultural Life Sciences University grounds, expansion of public convenience facilities, and cleanup of unused land surrounding the agricultural campus.

One tong-jang said, "Sitting under the shade of trees and chatting gave me the feeling of having an outdoor class from my school days," adding, "It also helped me recover cherished memories I had forgotten amid the heat wave and power shortage."

Min Wan-sik, chief of Seodun-dong, said, "Going forward, we will continue to hold meetings at current issues sites within the district to create spaces where residents can communicate," and added, "We will also actively participate in government-wide energy conservation initiatives."
