Gwangju Nam-gu "Operating the 'Youth Activity Point System' Again This Year"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 4th that it will continue the ‘Youth Activity Point System’ introduced last year this year as well.

The Youth Activity Point System is a project that provides points to young people who actively express their opinions through excellent youth-related policy proposals and participation in various educational programs and events promoted by the district office. When a certain number of points are accumulated, they are rewarded with cultural gift certificates.

Any youth aged 19 to 45 who reside in Nam-gu or are active based in Nam-gu can participate.

The areas where points are provided include youth policy proposals for discovering specialized policies and district participation activities that promote district policies by participating in district office-hosted events and education.

If an excellent youth policy proposal is adopted, 50,000 points are awarded, and even if not adopted, 10,000 points are given.

Also, in the district participation activity area, points ranging from a minimum of 2,000 to as many as 20,000 are awarded depending on participation and importance.

If the accumulated points exceed 20,000, cultural gift certificates equivalent to the points are provided.

Last year, a total of 111 people participated, proposing three policies including the operation of programs to revitalize Youth Warak, and participated in 108 events such as the Nam-gu Job Fair.

Nam-gu plans to introduce a program this year that provides free profile photos necessary for youth employment and interviews by establishing a cooperative system with a photo studio in Yangnim-dong, based on ideas from projects proposed by youth last year to support active job-seeking activities of young job seekers.

A Nam-gu official said, “We operate the Youth Activity Point System to actively reflect the opinions of young people in policies,” and added, “We ask many young people to actively express ideas to solve problems through participation.”
