Government to Provide Integrated Support for Lifestyle Culture Projects... Recruiting Local Host Organizations

The target includes public and private organizations and facilities recommended by basic local governments

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Regional Culture Promotion Agency announced on the 27th that they are recruiting regional host organizations to revitalize everyday life culture centered on local communities. This is the first step in the integrated support project for everyday life culture initiatives. The project integrates three programs: creating everyday life culture communities, revitalizing everyday life culture clubs, and activating everyday life culture centers, supporting eight regions in total.

Public and private organizations and facilities recommended by basic local governments can apply. Selected organizations will receive 173 million KRW to cover the development and operational management costs of the three programs. Various stakeholders such as local residents, everyday life culture clubs, everyday life culture facilities, and everyday life culture centers must form networks to collaboratively create a unique local everyday life culture environment and establish a cooperative system for project implementation.

An official stated, "This is an integrated support covering about 50% of the existing overall everyday life culture projects," and added, "Based on future outcomes, we plan to expand the supported regions and budget." They also said, "Beyond simple financial support, we will discuss the direction of everyday life culture policies with regional host organizations through cooperative training sessions."
