Gyeongnam Geoje Youth Counseling Welfare Center, 'Strong Mind Rattan Making' Cultural Experience Activity

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province, held a cultural experience activity called "Strong Mind Rattan Making" on the 2nd at the Youth Counseling Welfare Center for 45 youths and leaders participating in the Youth Companion Program.

The event involved rattan craft activities made by weaving natural rattan vine stems one by one. It was planned to help youths develop a positive awareness of eco-friendly products and to aid emotional recovery for youths struggling with COVID-19 blues.

Youths who participated in the activity shared their thoughts: "My hands hurt so much that blisters formed, but as I repeated the work, my mind became clearer. The stand made of rattan contains my effort, so it feels even more precious."

Han Kyung-su, head of the Geoje Youth Counseling Welfare Center, stated, "We planned cultural activities so that youths can realize the value of nature and have opportunities for psychological recovery amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to manage the problems youths face well so they can grow up healthily."

Meanwhile, the Youth Companion at the Youth Counseling Welfare Center continues to visit youths at risk directly at places such as homes and schools to provide counseling, emotional support, and necessary services.
