[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim Tae-woo, Mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul, visited the Heo Jun Museum on the 22nd to inspect the overall facilities, including children's experience facilities and program operations.

This was to check the safety of the facilities and to see if there were any inconveniences for visitors as face-to-face programs, which had been suspended due to COVID-19, resumed after three years.

Upon arriving at the museum, Mayor Kim first visited the "Heo Jun Health Medical Class," where most of the students are seniors aged 65 and older.

Making eye contact and greeting the elderly individually, Mayor Kim said, "As we approach the era of 100 years of age, well-being, which emphasizes improving quality of life and living a healthy life, is becoming important," adding, "We will implement various policies so that the elderly can enjoy a healthy and happy old age."

He then headed to the children's experience room, where he participated in various programs such as acupoint experience and medicinal herb packaging with the visiting children.

He also thoroughly checked the museum's corners, including the special exhibition hall and the Heo Jun Memorial Room, paying close attention to resident convenience facilities and safety management.

Mayor Kim Tae-woo stated, "There should be no inconvenience for local residents using multi-use facilities," and added, "We will create an environment where socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled, elderly, and children can use the facilities comfortably."

Park Kang-soo, Mayor of Mapo-gu, attended the "10th Mapo Career Fair" held at the Peace Square in World Cup Park on the 22nd to support youth dreams and career exploration.

Hosted by Mapo-gu and organized by the Mapo Career and Job Experience Center, the event involved students from 14 middle schools in Mapo-gu and 250 career mentors, who provided job experiences and career counseling at about 100 career experience booths.

Mayor Park Kang-soo, who participated in the event, said, "I hope today's career fair will greatly help our youth find their career paths," and added, "Mapo-gu will do its best to support young people so they can grow up with hope for the future."

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, conducted essential training for 420 elderly participants involved in senior jobs from the Dongdaemun branch of the Korean Senior Citizens Association (Chairman Lee Do-young) at 3:30 p.m. on the 22nd in the multipurpose auditorium on the 2nd floor of the district office.

The training, which began with Mayor Lee Pil-hyung's greeting, covered essential topics that participants in the senior job project must know, including understanding old age, fields related to senior job projects, traffic accident safety during activities, and voice phishing prevention education.

Mayor Lee Pil-hyung stated, "I hope that through this training, those participating in the senior job project can carry out their activities more safely and without accidents."
