Customized Youth Policies Proposed and Discovered by Youth in Gangbuk-gu

On the 18th, the cultural arts community 'Dongnehyungdeul' held a youth policy forum... Youth, the policy stakeholders, gathered to discuss solutions for problem-solving

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Gyeom-su) held the ‘Hope Gangbuk Youth Policy Open Forum’ on the 18th at the cultural arts community, where young people directly proposed and discussed policies they need.

The event proceeded in the order of agenda presentation, roundtable discussion, and sharing of discussions. Park Jong-won and Seo In-seok, co-chairs of the Gangbuk-gu Youth Network, presented agendas on the themes of ‘growth’ and ‘life,’ followed by open discussions at each roundtable. Each of the two roundtables consisted of seven young participants and one facilitator.

Under the facilitator’s guidance, attendees shared various ideas. Voices from the youth included statements such as, “It is necessary to promote projects focused on providing information to reduce damages caused by lack of housing knowledge,” and “It would be good to support hobby-sharing platforms or small groups so that time and capital can be consumed within the community.”

Based on the opinions derived from the forum, the district office plans to prepare a policy proposal and submit it to the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Furthermore, if the proposed projects are finally approved, they will be actively reflected in the district administration.

Park Gyeom-su, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “For various support projects that resonate with young people to be implemented, opportunities to listen to their concerns and thoughts must continue,” adding, “We will consistently discover customized policies that include the vivid opinions of youth.”
