Gangbuk-gu Successfully Completes the 'Cheongbaji Project'

Youth Planning Group Selects Top 3 Preferred Fields by Teens to Prepare Programs... Video Production, Cooking, Gaming Programs Held from June 5 to 19

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Gyeom-su) successfully completed the public-private cooperation project “Cheongbaji Project,” which was held from the 5th to the 19th of last month.

The Cheongbaji Project is an abbreviation of “The Present Changed by Youth,” a project where teenagers collaborate with a private working group to plan and implement educational and cultural programs they desire on their own.

Before the event, the working group and the youth planning team conducted a survey on fields favored by teenagers and selected three popular areas (video production, cooking, gaming) to prepare the event.

Youth participants were recruited through the Gangbuk-gu Office website from May to June.

The first program, “Video Editing Like a YouTuber,” was held twice on June 5 and 12. Twenty local teenagers received video production training using the video conferencing program ZOOM.

The remaining events took place on June 19, divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning cooking experience involved about 20 teenagers who listened to the instructor’s explanations via video conferencing and YouTube channels, making Mille-Feuille Nabe with their families at home. The district used a large screen to capture the students’ cooking activities.

Finally, the afternoon second session hosted an e-sports tournament to determine the strongest League of Legends player among Gangbuk-gu youth. Two teams that advanced through preliminary rounds competed in the finals, with the Miyang High School team winning the championship. The tournament was live-streamed on YouTube with commentary.

Mayor Park Gyeom-su of Gangbuk-gu said, “Through this project, I hope that teenagers, exhausted from over a year of COVID-19, regain vitality in their daily lives and have time to communicate with their families. We will continue to support youth so they can enjoy healthy leisure cultures and nurture their dreams for the future.”
