The Gwangju Working Moms Support Center provides a financial support project of parental leave replacement employees: The Center supports replacement workers for small and medium-sized enterprises that employ less than 100 people in Gwangju. The amount of support depends on the work period of the parental leave replacement employee. If one replacement employee works from 5 to 10 months, the Center supports 1 million won. If one replacement employee works more than 10 months, the center supports 2 million won. In order to get this support, small and mediumsized enterprises should guarantee to rehire the employees who were on parental leave.

On three Wednesday evenings in June, there are humanities lectures at the Gwangju Donggu District Office. These lectures are part of the Dong-gu Humanities Lecture Series (동구 인문대학). Dong-gu provides humanities lectures on literature, history, art, philosophy, and social science for Gwangju residents. Dong-gu expects that Gwangju residents can understand through these lectures who we are, and learn about our present and past, and our society. These lectures are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday in the Grand Hall of the Donggu District Office (June 14, 21, and 28).
