The 2024 Gwangsan-gu Community Security Council 'Harmony Festival' event was held on the 31st at Hanam Gyeongam Neighborhood Park.

Organized to promote communication and harmony among public and private welfare activists, the event was attended by about 700 people, including representatives and working council members of the Gwangsan-gu Community Security Council (hereinafter referred to as Jisahyeop) and members of the 21 district councils.

The Gwangsan-gu Jisahyeop is actively engaged in key projects such as the 'Annyeonghaseyo?' program, which checks on citizens with mobility difficulties, the Village Welfare Health Plan project that supports self-help groups related to welfare and health care, and the '1313 Neighbor Care Project,' a resident mutual care network that prevents social isolation. These efforts lead the way in eliminating welfare blind spots and promoting a culture of sharing.

Park Byung-gyu, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, stated, “Thanks to the Jisahyeop members and activists, Gwangsan-gu is leading welfare innovation in South Korea. We will do our best to support continuous innovative practices that combine welfare and autonomy through neighborhood and village efforts to care for neighbors.”
