[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Yoseop] Busan City is accepting applications for the '2020 Youth Program Support Project' to promote youth social participation and capacity building until the 24th of next month.

According to Busan City on the 28th, the Youth Program Support Project is a program that provides opportunities for youth activities and strengthens social participation capabilities by supporting creative youth activity programs in various fields led by youth themselves. Districts and counties implement the project in consortium with the private sector.

In this call for applications, creative activity programs led by youth will be selected for 16 districts and counties. Up to 20 million KRW per program and a total project budget of 480 million KRW will be supported.

This year, Busan City plans to give additional points during the application and selection process if districts and counties match funds to increase their participation and interest. During the project period, meetings for project promotion by district and county and project performance exchange meetings will be held to support meaningful activities for youth.

Districts and counties can apply as a consortium with youth organizations, universities, and specialized institutions. Applications can be submitted to the Busan City Youth Hope Policy Division from the 17th to the 24th of next month for 8 days.

Na Yoonbin, head of the Busan City Youth Hope Policy Division, said, “The Youth Program Support Project is a great opportunity for youth to develop their capabilities and experience social participation activities in various fields as the main agents.” She added, “We hope for active participation in the project call to revitalize youth activities.”
