Uiseong Asks Residents for “Village Solutions”...Discovering Self-Governed Communities for 2027
Applications accepted until October 8
Planning to be established at the November Autonomy School
Strengthening resident organization capacity
Uiseong County announced on September 8 that it is accepting applications for villages to participate in the "2027 Village Self-Governance Support Project – Kiwoom Stage Village Autonomy School" until October 8.
The eligible candidates are villages wishing to take part in next year's village self-governance support project, and at least five residents from the same village must participate.
Interested villages should submit their application forms to the Uiseong County Village Self-Governance Support Center via their respective eup or myeon offices.
Applications have been accepted since September 7.
The county will organize a village autonomy school in November for the applicant villages, in the form of a joint workshop.
The training will include an overview of the village self-governance support project, procedures and methods for village planning, resident organization, and writing project proposals. Field learning sessions to visit advanced villages within the region and study best practices will also be provided.
After completing the Village Autonomy School curriculum, the county will select the villages that will be eligible for the 2027 project, and provide support for initiatives tailored to each community, focusing on community building and resident engagement.
Choi Yucheol, Governor of Uiseong County, stated, "The starting point of village self-governance is for residents to identify and plan for the issues their community needs themselves," adding, "I hope the Village Autonomy School will serve as an opportunity for residents to discover village resources and develop collective activities in concrete ways."
The success of village autonomy hinges not on the scale of support, but on whether residents themselves are equipped to find and implement local agendas.
