[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) is operating the 'Monttang Project,' a support program for youth autonomous clubs.

The 'Monttang Project,' part of the 2021 Dongdaemun Innovation Education District initiative, is a program that fully supports creative and self-directed club activities where youth directly plan and operate various fields such as skill development, artistic activities, career, and experiential activities.

The district supports about 30 youth autonomous clubs, providing up to 1 million KRW per club.

To this end, applications for support are being accepted until May 11.

The applicants must be autonomous clubs composed of at least five youths enrolled in local middle or high schools and one supervising teacher. Applications must be submitted by official letter to the Education Support Division of Dongdaemun-gu Office by May 11 with approval from each school principal.

After the application deadline, the district plans to finalize the supported clubs and funding amounts through a selection committee review in May and notify each school individually.

For further details, please contact the Education Support Division of Dongdaemun-gu Office.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We operate the ‘Monttang Project’ to discover youth clubs in various fields and enable youths to unfold their dreams and talents through the process of planning and operating club activities themselves. We hope that through this project, youths will grow into creative and self-directed talents, and the district will continue to support various programs so that youths can grow as future leaders.”
