The program included exchanges between the two organizations, participant introductions, relay races, OX quizzes, and non-face-to-face telepathy games.

An official from the county stated, "Through youth exchanges between Yeong and Honam, we aim to create a place for harmony and meetings, foster pride and affection for each region, promote the holistic growth of youths, and contribute to encouraging youth participation through non-face-to-face experiences."

Meanwhile, Goheung-gun expects to open the door to the possibility of metaverse and virtual reality experiences within the district and hopes they will be utilized in various ways in youth activities.
