Hwaseong City Conducts Training for Successful Cooperative Operation

The first training session in 2014 for cooperative executives and members was held on the 20th, organized by the Hwaseong City Social Economy Support Center.

Currently, there are 31 cooperatives in Hwaseong City. As the establishment of cooperatives continues to increase steadily, this training was implemented to strengthen the capacity of cooperative executives and members in Hwaseong City and to promote cooperation among participating cooperatives.

This training focuses on the amended contents of the Cooperative Basic Law and covers practical operational matters that must be understood when operating a cooperative, as well as training programs for democratic cooperative management. It is an education aimed at improving practical cooperative management.

Based on this content, a democratic management training workshop will be held on the 27th at the conference room on the first floor of the main stadium of Hwaseong General Sports Park, featuring communication and meeting methods, role-playing games, and other activities. The training will conclude with an evaluation and overall networking session among cooperatives.

Park Young-jun, Team Leader of Cooperative Support, stated, "While cooperatives surpassed 3,000 by the end of last year, achieving quantitative growth, there are still many difficulties in actual operations. We expect that through this training, particularly operational conflicts can be resolved and smooth communication among members can be achieved."

The second training session for cooperative executives and members is scheduled to take place in the second half of the year. Inquiries regarding cooperative establishment and guidance can be made to the Hwaseong City Social Economy Support Center (031-8059-9909).
