[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, conducted a youth weekend experience program five times from the 16th to the 20th of last month to strengthen family functions through various weekend experiences.

According to the county on the 24th, the purpose of this project is to provide opportunities to efficiently utilize leisure time and to help youth grow healthily.

This program, aimed at citizens and youth exhausted by COVID-19, was conducted through experiential learning to explore the local community.

Participants accumulated various experiences and memories and took time to reflect on their families again through 13 types of programs at local experience centers, including sweet potato harvesting, Daebong persimmon picking, ranch experience, lotus root tofu making, and mosit leaf rice cake making.

County Governor Kim San said, “This program not only provided rest to citizens tired from COVID-19 but also greatly helped revitalize the local economy. We will actively support the operation of existing programs and the development of new programs so that more residents can participate.”

Meanwhile, 33 families totaling 119 people (64 youths and 55 parents) participated in the second half of this year’s program, and a self-survey showed a high satisfaction rate of 97.3%.
