According to the Office of Education on the 7th, this event was organized for local youth to share cases of career and democratic citizenship practice activities using their communities and schools as stages.

At this 'Autonomy Festival,' 40 local youth teams (20 elementary age teams and 20 middle school age teams) participated, and the event became even more meaningful through collaboration between the Office of Education, the May 18 Memorial Foundation, the Gwangju Youth Life Design Center, and other local youth accompaniment organizations.
