[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyuk-jong) has stepped up to help out-of-school youth with their human rights and social participation.

According to Gwangju University on the 21st, the Nam-gu Out-of-School Youth Support Center and Youth Counseling Welfare Center, which is operated under commission by the university's Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, held support programs for youth subject to the 'Gwangju Family Court Attendance Order,' 'Gwangju Police Agency Love Classroom,' and 'Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education School Dropout Reflection System' in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of April 19th Movement.

This program was prepared for counselors affiliated with the center to read aloud the "Palm-sized Constitution Book," reflecting on the meanings of democracy, human rights, peace, and service, and to encourage out-of-school youth to engage in self-reflection on human rights and the expansion of rights as citizens.
