Seongbuk-gu, Fostering Young Local Creators

Training Program for Youth Instructors on Seongbuk-gu History and Culture Career Experience

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) operated the youth-targeted history and culture career experience instructor training course, 'Youth Local Creator,' from July 9 to August 13.

'Youth Local Creator' is a project promoted as part of the community innovation plan (district-level plan type) by the Seongbuk Youth Future Support Center and the Seongbuk Cultural Arts Educators Cooperative 'Maeul On Yesul.'

The program consisted of a total of 8 sessions covering understanding of local history and cultural resources, planning, filming, and editing of individual video content, interviews with local professionals, and education on understanding youth.

At the 8th session presentation, a video content screening titled 'Stories of Seongbuk Told by Youth' was held, showcasing videos created by participating youth. The youth expressed through video the lives of four Seongbuk independence activists and their commemorative plaques, interviews with Seongbuk bookstore owners, and the life story of poet Shin Dong-yeop.

A representative from the Seongbuk Youth Future Support Center stated, "This course aimed to increase youth interest in the local community and help youth produce local-based career education content. Additionally, starting from the end of August, we plan to implement a program where youth become mentors to adolescents and conduct 'advanced history and culture career experience education and one-day career experience' programs."

'Stories of Seongbuk Told by Youth' will be available on the Seongbuk Youth Future Support Center YouTube channel at the end of August.
