[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 13th that it held the '1st Changwon Youth Day Ceremony' on the 11th in accordance with the enforcement of the Youth Basic Act.

This ceremony was held under the theme of 'Changwon, a city that creates a day dreamed by youth together,' to inspire hope in young people facing difficulties such as the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic's hiring cliff, social interaction disruption, and changes in daily life.

At the event, the Changwon Youth Charter, created by youth representatives and youth policy experts with the purpose of defining the role and social positioning of youth, was proclaimed, and performances by a youth musical group planned by young people themselves, a choir singing the original song of the Youth Charter, and an interview video about a day dreamed by youth were screened.

In addition, to commemorate Youth Day, the Youth Week events held from the 8th to the 11th included experiential events such as Latin crafts, a mental health talk show, a book talk by author Kim Cho-yeop titled 'If We Cannot Move at the Speed of Light,' and performances by next-generation artists, all held online.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, "With the Changwon Youth Day ceremony and the proclamation of the Youth Charter as an opportunity, I hope our youth will establish themselves as proud main actors in the local community based on participation, rights, and responsibilities."

Meanwhile, the city is promoting the '2024 Changwon-type Youth Policy,' investing 37 billion KRW in 20 youth tasks across four areas: organization, jobs, life, and culture, until 2024.
