[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Yoseop] Busan City announced on the 7th that it will recruit participants for the 2020 community-led youth job project, ‘Uri Dongnae Munhwa Ieum Project,’ until the 21st.

Started last year, the ‘Uri Dongnae Munhwa Ieum Project’ dispatches young cultural personnel to cultural facilities and spaces operated by social economy organizations or private sectors in the cultural and arts field. It was established to provide work experience to youth aspiring to pursue careers in the cultural and arts sector, activate related private sectors, and create diverse cultural services to foster a cultural ecosystem.

The recruitment targets are social economy organizations related to culture and arts, workplaces operated by non-profit corporations (organizations), and youth under the age of 39 with experience in the cultural field. The support areas include ▲service planning ▲service and cultural space operation management ▲public relations and marketing ▲others, totaling four categories. Applications will be accepted through the Busan City website starting from the 17th. After screening, 14 workplaces and 14 youth will be finally selected and matched to start working from next month. Participating workplaces will receive a fixed amount of labor costs for up to 10 months.

Im Chang-geun, Director of the Culture and Arts Division of Busan City, said, “We ask for active participation and interest so that human resources can be properly connected and the cultural field can operate well.”
