Naju City Opens 'Youth Hope School' to Support Youth Capacity Building and Leisure Activities

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 14th that it will open the ‘2021 Youth Hope School’ to support the capacity building and leisure activities of local youth, following last year.

Youth Hope School focuses on forming personal networks among youth and strengthening their capabilities. It is a youth-tailored small group course that freely reflects the interests and learning desires of young people, operated at places such as the Naju Youth Center.

This year’s Youth Hope School selected a total of six courses in music, art, and video fields based on the application results of 40 trainees from 21 subjects received through an instructor recruitment held in February and March.

The courses offered are ‘Healing Acrylic Painting,’ ‘My Own DIY (Do It Yourself) Woodworking Class,’ ‘Making My Own Video Work,’ ‘Easily Learning Emotional Croquis,’ ‘Daegeum Class,’ and ‘Your Own Special Hobby, Haegeum’ classes.

The education will be conducted over 10 sessions (20 hours) per subject until mid-June.

The city recently held a ‘Matching Day’ at the Naju Youth Center attended by about 40 instructors and trainees to share explanations and lecture plans for each course.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “I hope Youth Hope School becomes a focal point leading youth culture through enhanced communication and capacity development among young people,” and added, “We will continue to strive to discover policies that meet the learning and cultural needs of youth so that they can establish themselves as a vital force in the local community.”
