[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Se-ryeong Lee] Yeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province, held the award ceremony for the ‘2021 Yeongju City 4-H Digital Competition’ at the Agricultural Technology Center on the 10th.

About 50 4-H union members and officials attended the competition site, while approximately 190 student members and instructors participated non-face-to-face through an online platform.

4-H is an acronym derived from the first letters of four words: head (intellect), heart (virtue), hand (labor), and health.

The competition was held with the purpose of fostering creative future generations who will lead the future by practicing the 4-H ideals of knowledge, virtue, labor, and physical health through group life, cultivating character, and nurturing an agricultural spirit.

The evaluation was conducted from the 3rd to the 10th targeting 118 students from 11 schools, based on YouTube videos in three categories: activity videos created by students, cooperative works, and talent shows, under the theme “Making good things better, better together!”

This year, Punggi Middle School, which consistently engaged in 4-H activities through videos and demonstrated teamwork with many students participating, won the overall championship.

The school received a scholarship provided by Im Yong-bin, chairman of the Four-Leaf Farm Scholarship Foundation, who is a 4-H senior and a member of the 4-H headquarters.

Teacher Lee Ran-young said, “Although the time spent at school was greatly reduced due to COVID-19, the children diligently participated in activities,” adding, “Seeing the children enjoy themselves warmed my heart.”

Scholarship chairman Im Yong-bin said, “I hope that the 4-H activities, which were restrained due to COVID-19, will stretch out through this competition and serve as an opportunity to relieve accumulated fatigue.”

Director Jang Sung-wook stated, “Student 4-H is an important link that connects our agriculture to the future,” and added, “We will do our best to support so that this connection remains unbroken and strong.”
