District rolls out tailored human rights education and online and offline campaigns, including the 'Eunpyeong Praise Challenge'
Eunpyeong-gu in Seoul said it is running a range of human rights education programs and participatory campaigns to foster a workplace culture free of hatred, discrimination and harassment, built on mutual respect.
In the first half of this year, the district ran a "human rights pop-up education" series to sharpen employees' sensitivity to rights issues. Sessions in April focused on preventing workplace harassment, while those in June addressed hatred and discrimination prevention, promoting the values of diversity and inclusion.
On June 25, the district held its "2026 Workplace Harassment Prevention Training" for staff. The program was divided into separate tracks for managers and general employees to reflect differences in role and responsibility, with case-based instruction at its core. A pre-session survey and interactive quiz were incorporated to boost engagement.
Alongside the training, the district ran participatory campaigns including the "Eunpyeong Praise Challenge," through which employees shared messages of gratitude and encouragement on the integrity-and-communication board of the district's administrative system. A campaign promoting mutual respect was also held at the inauguration ceremony for the sixth-term Eunpyeong-gu Human Rights Committee.
The district said it plans to continue expanding its human rights education and campaigns to firmly establish a rights-friendly organizational culture grounded in respect and consideration for others.
"Prevention matters far more than after-the-fact responses when it comes to hatred, discrimination and workplace harassment," district mayor Kim Mi-kyung said. "We will continue to make diverse human rights policies our top priority as we work to build a healthy organizational culture where respect and care are part of everyday life."
