Hwaseong City Accepting Applications for "Value, Connect" Social Economy Participation Program Until July 16

Consists of Enterprise Visits and Product Experiences

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting applications for participants in the citizen experience program "Value, Connect: Social Economy Together," which aims to raise awareness about the social economy, until July 16.

This program allows participants to directly experience social economy enterprises both online and offline, providing an opportunity to understand and empathize with the value of the social economy in everyday life. It consists of two types: ▲Enterprise Visits (Exploration Type) ▲Product Experience (Product Type).

The Exploration Type is a family-oriented program where participants visit enterprise sites in person to experience activities such as fair trade coffee production and upcycling. The Product Type involves receiving social economy products, such as eco-friendly detergents and local agricultural products, by delivery and experiencing them at home.

Those interested can apply by scanning the QR code on the recruitment poster. After participating in a quiz on the event website, applicants can find a social economy enterprise that suits them and apply for the experience program.

The results of the selection will be announced on the website on July 21. Thirty teams with outstanding reviews among the program participants will receive coupons that can be used at the Social Economy Sharing Market scheduled to be held in September.

Son Seyoung, Hwaseong City's Basic Social Affairs Officer, said, "This program is designed so that even citizens who have found the social economy difficult or unfamiliar can experience it easily and enjoyably."
