Seoul Government Looking for Nominees to Serve on Council of Foreigners
|Any ROK Heads in Seoul interested in serving on this council that the Seoul government is trying to establish?:
Seoul Metropolitan Government said Monday it would begin accepting applications from foreign residents of the capital to create a representative body for consultations. The body will be made up of 45 people and will advise the local government on policies to meet the needs of foreign residents and interracial families.
“Migrant workers, foreign students, foreign spouses, adoptees or refugees can apply for the positions,” a city official said.
The representatives will serve a three-year term and collect foreign residents’ opinions on issues such as human rights, cultural diversity and the living environment.
Those wanting to become the members should be over 18 years old, have stayed in Korea for more than a year and in Seoul for more than 90 days, and be recommended by at least 10 other foreign residents. [Korea Times]
