[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the afternoon of the 23rd, Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province, held the "Youth, Open Meeting Day," where members of the Youth Policy Network and the Youth Policy Committee met and exchanged ideas at Sonocam in Ilun-myeon to realize policies led by youth.

The Geoje City Youth Policy Network consists of 30 ordinary youth members recruited through an open call, who take the lead in monitoring various youth policies of the city and carrying out diverse activities.

The Geoje City Youth Policy Committee is composed of 12 youth members recruited through an open call, who evaluate existing youth policies and institutional improvements, and establish and deliberate on key youth policies.

At the event, the youth reorganized into four subcommittees based on their areas of interest: Noljali (Tourism and Festivals), Seoljari (Education, Welfare, Environment), Saljali (Housing, Transportation, Jobs), and Chamsari (Youth Culture). They promised to engage in various activities such as subcommittee meetings, benchmarking, and youth proposals in the future.

Kim Ban-seok was elected as the first chairman of the Youth Policy Network and pledged to faithfully fulfill his role by leading continuous subcommittee meetings along with the executives and members.

Mayor Byeon Gwang-yong said in his greeting, "I hope the youth-led Youth Network and Youth Policy Committee will serve as communication channels connecting the city and its youth," and added, "We look forward to the active participation and activities of Geoje City's youth in youth policies going forward."
