Seongbuk-gu Youth Counseling Welfare Center 'Art Mentoring Program' Conducted Online and Offline
Art Mentoring Program 'Art&Heart' 2nd Term Launch Ceremony Held
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor, Lee Seung-ro) held a launch ceremony to mark the beginning of the 2nd term of ‘Art&Heart (Subtitle: Putting Heart into Art)’.
The Art&Heart program is an art mentoring activity jointly organized by Kookmin University and the Seongbuk-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center to discover educational cooperation models within the region and to help youth explore career paths and enhance motivation.
Last October, a pilot mentoring program was first operated in the practical music and art fields, which are highly popular among youth, receiving great responses from them. Building on this success, the 2nd term of Art&Heart added new fields such as guitar and drums, in addition to art, practical vocals, and practical composition, attracting more youth interest.
About 30 people, including mentors from Kookmin University Graduate School of Education, youth participants, and officials, attended the hybrid online and offline launch ceremony. One student who attended said, “I have always been interested in music but couldn’t afford private lessons due to high costs, so I’m very happy to have this great opportunity. I will participate more diligently than anyone else,” expressing great ambition and determination.
Meanwhile, the Seongbuk-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center (Director Lee Eun-seon) secured music activity spaces such as a band rehearsal room and karaoke room so that youth can explore their dreams in a better environment. During the total of 10 upcoming sessions, they plan to support active engagement between mentors and mentees.
The Seongbuk-gu Youth Counseling and Welfare Center provides individual counseling, play/art therapy, cognitive (learning) and emotional counseling, psychological testing, and other services to help youth overcome psychological difficulties.
