[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jung-gu District Office (Mayor Seo Yang-ho) is recruiting new members for the "1st Jung-gu Youth District Participation Group," where youth can experience various district activities and present their opinions.


The Jung-gu Youth District Participation Group was established this year to incorporate the opinions and creative ideas of youth, who view things differently from adults, into major district projects to promote youth rights.


The recruitment target is youth aged 10 to under 18 (born between 2011 and 2003) who reside in the district or attend schools within the area, with about 90 members in total, 30 each from elementary, middle, and high schools.


Out-of-school youth are also included, and any student interested in children's rights and policies can apply.


Applications are open for one month from June 1 to June 30 and can be submitted through the communication participation board on the Jung-gu District Office website.


The activity period is one year, from July this year to June next year. Members will engage in various activities to expand youth participation in district affairs, such as proposing improvements for school or neighborhood inconveniences, suggesting innovative ideas for the community, and monitoring events and programs promoted by the district.


Members will be given priority participation opportunities in experience programs conducted by the district, recognition for volunteer work, and benefits such as a 10% discount on usage fees for public sports facilities within the district.


After the recruitment period, the final district participation group will be selected, and an appointment ceremony will be held during the summer vacation.


For more details, inquiries can be made to the Audit Officer at the Jung-gu District Office.



Mayor Seo Yang-ho of Jung-gu said, "The core of a child- and youth-friendly city is to incorporate the thoughts and opinions of policy beneficiaries into policies," adding, "We will listen carefully to the voices of the Youth District Participation Group to discover and promote projects that children and youth can feel and empathize with."
