The district has established resident self-governance councils in each of its 17 neighborhoods, enabling residents to identify and carry out projects that meet local needs. A total of 161 programs are currently offered at neighborhood community centers. About 700 people, including resident council members, program participants and other residents, will take part in the event.

At the program showcase, 17 teams representing their respective neighborhoods will take the stage to perform Nanta, pungmul, line dancing and choral singing, among other acts. Participants will also exhibit works they created through community center programs in the lobby on the third floor of the district office.

“This will be a meaningful occasion for residents who have worked hard throughout the year in community center programs to gather, share their achievements and cheer one another on,” District Head Yoo Bohwa said. “We will continue to support resident self-governance so it can become even more vibrant, based on residents’ active participation and communication.”
