The Gyeonggi-do Village Community Support Center will hold the ‘2024 Gyeonggi-do Village Community Activity Sharing Week - Gyeonggi Village is Great’ on December 3-4 for two days at the Uijeongbu Culture Station Eum on the 4th floor of Uijeongbu Station.

A village community refers to activities aimed at improving the quality of life in various areas such as childcare, education, welfare, culture, living environment, and jobs in the region, based on voluntary participation and communication among residents.

Under the subtitle “Various Villages, Shining as Unique Villages in Gyeonggi-do,” this event is planned to share stories of individuals, communities, and local societies transformed through village community activities and to spread the social value created by village communities.
