Creating a Platform for Self-Expression Through Exhibition, Enhancing Youth Achievement... All Proceeds from the Experience Booth and Flea Market Operated on the 17th Donated to Lou Gehrig's Disease Patients

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) held a self-development achievement presentation and exhibition of the Seongbuk-gu Youth Support Center pottery club ‘Onggijonggi’ over two days on the 16th and 17th at the Seongbuk-gu Office Art Hall and the outdoor Barammadang.

Youth from the Seongbuk-gu Youth Support Center, Jaona School, and Indie School participated in the ‘Onggijonggi’ self-development achievement presentation and exhibition held that day, showcasing their works.

‘Onggijonggi’ is part of the Seoul City out-of-school youth culture and arts support project, organized by Seongbuk-gu Youth Support Center Kkumdeulim and conducted for one year in collaboration with nearby alternative schools Jaona School and Indie School. It currently operates as a youth culture and arts club, and its name means ‘out-of-school youths gather closely to create meaningful pottery for themselves and others.’

At the self-development achievement presentation held on the 16th, youths had the opportunity to introduce and present pottery works they created with their own meanings.

On the 17th, about 50 pottery pieces made by the youths were exhibited at the outdoor Barammadang of the district office.

Additionally, a flea market and an experience booth where participants could paint on bisque-fired pottery to create their own unique pottery attracted residents’ interest. All proceeds from the flea market and experience booth will be fully donated to the Seungil Foundation for patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, encouraged the youths, saying, “As social interest in youths increases, we will continue to implement various youth support policies to cheer on their dreams and hopes.”

Meanwhile, Seongbuk-gu Youth Support Center Kkumdeulim is promoting projects such as academic support, employment support, independence support, self-development support, and health support for the healthy growth of out-of-school youths.
