[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Hapcheon-gun Youth Support Center Dream Dream operated 'Omok (木) Jomok (木)' every Tuesday from March 23 to 11 at the Village Keeper Woodworking Workshop.

'Omok Jomok' means a shape where small things come together to give a neat feeling, representing out-of-school youth who are small and young but strive for their dreams. The woodworking program was conducted to promote self-development as well as social skills enhancement and community spirit cultivation.

Participants learned woodworking and made daily items (bookstands, stool chairs, storage cabinets) themselves, helping each other with difficult tasks to complete all programs.

Especially in the last session, they made a picnic table as a collaborative work and installed it in the yard in front of the Youth Culture House.

The participating youth said, "I felt very good and had fun every time I completed a piece while doing woodworking. Especially, I think it will be very rewarding and nice to see people sitting and resting at the picnic table."

In response, Jeon Deok-gyu, head of the Elderly, Children, and Women Division, said, "We are proud of the youth who attended and worked hard in the woodworking program for a long time, and we will make sure the picnic table is used well for a long time."

Meanwhile, Dream Dream operates various programs for out-of-school youth, including GED study support, independence support, cultural experience and self-development program support, health checkup support, and personal counseling.
