[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 25th that it will hold the "2020 Youth Cultural Activity Group Subsidy Support Project Briefing Session" from the 25th to the 1st of next month to strengthen democratic citizenship education.

This project will be held three times for 80 groups at Boseong-gun Youth Training Center, Naju City Hotel, and Jeonnam Women's Family Foundation.

The Office of Education plans to use the briefing sessions as an opportunity to guide budget execution procedures for private group subsidy projects and share difficulties faced by the groups, thereby promoting the activation of youth cultural project support within the province.

Through the first round of recruitment this year, subsidies totaling 649 million won were provided to 80 youth cultural activity groups, and through the second round, subsidies of 400 million won will be provided to 25 groups.

The Yeosu Community Research Institute, which participated in last year's youth cultural activity group subsidy support project, was evaluated for publishing and distributing the "Yeosun Incident Joint Teaching Materials Collection," which raised historical awareness among Jeonnam students and laid the foundation for democratic citizenship growth.

Jo Joo-hyun, director of Sarasil Art Village in Gwangyang City, said, "We prepared addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division programs aimed at healing children exhausted by COVID-19 through culture and arts," adding, "We will do our best to use the budget more valuably by strictly following the guidelines provided in this briefing session."

Lee Byung-sam, head of the Democratic Citizenship Life Education Division, said, "Youth will have opportunities to express their dreams and talents through cultural and artistic activities and gain momentum to grow as future talents," and added, "We will support more groups to activate student cultural and artistic activities."
