Support for the WCC
To support the volunteers for a successful WCC opening, Jeju has a mileage system for the volunteers. Accumulated mileage can be used for gifts. The mileage can be gathered through volunteer work. We can anticipate that the support stimulates the volunteers. Then, they will serve for the WCC steadily. Jeju will give medals as incentives to some outstanding volunteers.
Also, Jeju will make a welcome·farewell group and will have a workshop which is designed to support related agencies with the WCC. Jeju held a neighborhood meeting in the island for spreading the mood of the festival.
Also, the volunteers will gather trash and clean up the sea sides, olle-trails and resorts under Jeju’s supervision. Jeju expects to steadily push ahead with the ‘Campaign for improvement global manner’ for successful image marketing.
And Jeju will prepare programs for supporting volunteers to take part in WCC. The programs are connected with green farm villages that give a chance to experience farming.
