Daejeon City Provides Nation's First 'Cultural Arts Viewing Fee' Support for Youth

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City will support cultural and artistic viewing expenses for local youth. This is the first case of supporting cultural and artistic viewing expenses for youth introduced in Daejeon.

The city announced on the 30th that it will pilot the "Student Cultural and Artistic Viewing Support Project" from next month until February of next year.

The support targets are middle school students residing in the area or out-of-school youth of the same age. The support funds will be provided as 20,000 points per youth through a separate operating system (currently under construction) and can be used to collectively view 13 works selected in the first round through a public contest.

After the pilot operation period, the city will derive evaluation and monitoring results of the pilot project. Improvements will be reflected starting March next year to fully launch the project. In particular, when the main project begins next year, the target will be expanded to include elementary and high school students.

For more detailed information about the support, please check the Daejeon Cultural Foundation website.

Son Cheol-woong, Director of the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the city, said, "The cultural and artistic viewing support project for youth is the first nationwide to be promoted in Daejeon," adding, "Through this project, local youth will enhance their understanding of cultural and artistic works, and it will also invigorate the performance culture for local artists."
