[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) is recruiting young people to participate in the '2021 Youth Social Activity Project' from the 8th to the 24th of this month.

The '2021 Youth Social Activity Project' is a program that supports projects containing fresh ideas from young people, aiming to strengthen their capabilities, facilitate social entry, and establish a foundation for independence.

Last year, the district provided various opportunities for youth participation through 11 teams, including the 'Seongdong-gu Youth Cultural Artists Stepping Stone Project' and 'Youth Gatherings United by Culture.'

Last year, through various small groups such as 'Handmade Salon' and 'Art Investment,' it contributed to enhancing the cultural life of single-person households, and active youth exchanges continued through the formation of various youth groups such as 'Writing and Reading Clubs,' 'Picture Book Making,' and 'Literature Workshops.'

Additionally, the organization Anakia contributed to raising awareness of environmental issues by creating a giant Jenga using discarded wood materials, and opportunities were provided to alleviate the isolation problems of young single-person households through special lectures such as 'Let's Eat Together.'

This year's call for proposals is based on themes executable online, considering the COVID-19 situation. Project themes can be applied for youth policy promotion content development, local issues, problem-solving, and also freely proposed with innovative ideas without separate restrictions.

Applicants must be groups or organizations of 3 to 5 young people aged 19 to 39 residing in Seongdong-gu. Each project will receive differential support up to 6 million KRW, with a total budget of 40 million KRW.

Applications can be submitted via email to the person in charge, by visiting in person, or by mail. Detailed information about the call for proposals can be found on the Seongdong-gu Office website under notices and announcements.

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “It is expected that young people will contribute to creating a better society through the process of proposing and implementing new values in the local community by themselves,” and added, “The district will continue to listen to the opinions of young people and carry out youth projects so that they can stand as main agents of society.”
