Gangbuk-gu, Recruiting Youth Space Exploration Team

Students Directly Discover Local Spaces for Youth...Targeting 5th-6th Grade Elementary Students Living or Attending School in Gangbuk-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Gyeom-su) is recruiting participants for the "Youth Space Exploration Team," where students independently discover spaces within the community for youth, until the 15th.

The target participants are 5th and 6th graders residing in Gangbuk-gu or attending schools in the area, with a total of 65 spots available. Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Gangbuk-gu Office website (http://www.gangbuk.go.kr) under News or Public Notices, filling it out, and sending it via email to nochun99@gangbuk.go.kr.

The activities will take place 1 to 2 times each month on Saturdays from June to October 2020. Selected members will investigate places available for exploration within the community, plan exploration methods, and visit the locations themselves.

Additionally, participants will create maps of the explored spaces and develop remodeling plans for usable areas. Volunteer activities such as environmental cleanup will also be conducted alongside the exploration activities.

The exploration will be conducted by neighborhood. Private working group members assigned to the 13 neighborhoods within the district will serve as leaders to support the team during preparation and exploration activities.

The district plans to hold a report meeting in October to summarize the exploration activities and share the results.

Furthermore, spaces discovered by the team will be identified and selected as child and youth spaces through consultations with related organizations, with plans to support renovations and improvements in the following year.

Park Gyeom-su, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, "We hope many students will participate in the space exploration team activities that allow them to change their community on their own," and added, "We will spare no effort in supporting the creation of spaces where youth can enjoy healthy leisure cultures and nurture their dreams for the future."
