The event will be held three times in total over a 1-night, 2-day schedule from the 4th to the 26th, engaging a total of 115 North Korean defector youth and grandparent-headed family youth in experiential activities using content such as traditional dance, sound, and art.

The program for each schedule includes forming groups on the first day to experience traditional percussion instruments, watch performances, participate in a lantern experience with wishes, and have a meditation session accompanied by traditional music.

On the second day, participants will experience community dance to foster positive energy, solidarity, and a sense of belonging, and visit cultural tourist sites such as Museongseowon Confucian Academy and the Kim Dong-su House.

A city official said, "Through this camp, we expect to increase youth's intimacy with traditional culture and arts and provide an opportunity to raise public interest and understanding of traditional culture and arts, which are becoming marginalized, through field learning combined with play."
