[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 1st that it held an opening ceremony for the youth center ‘Gimhae Cheongnyeon Daom,’ which will serve as a hub space for local youth activities.

Gimhae Cheongnyeon Daom was built at 365 Bunseong-ro as part of the Dongsang-dong, Hoihyeon-dong, and Buwon-dong urban regeneration projects promoted by the city since 2016. It has a total area of 365㎡ and consists of two floors.

Designed as a space to support communication, exchange, and community activities among local youth, the first floor includes an experience room, exhibition hall, youth cafe, and stage, which are used as a creative experimental space for cultural and artistic activities such as small performances, exhibitions, and small group meetings.

The second floor houses a book cafe, seminar room, shared kitchen, office, and counseling room, serving as a space for rest, psychological counseling, lectures on employment and entrepreneurship, and strengthening youth self-reliance capabilities and rights protection.

To ensure solid center operation, Inje University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation was selected as the entrusted operator, and the youth cafe on the first floor is separately entrusted to the Gimhae Regional Self-Support Center Youth Self-Reliance Support Project Group to provide jobs for low-income youth.

The city is focusing on customized youth center operation by providing opportunities for youth to develop self-reliance capabilities while working at the youth cafe and becoming independent within the center.

For the convenience of youth users, the center is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and is closed on Mondays and public holidays.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, “I hope all young people become the protagonists of Gimhae Cheongnyeon Daom and that it becomes a space where youth can design and realize their dreams,” adding, “We will actively support youth so that they can live confidently and happily as true youth by listening closely to their voices.”
