[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] CJ Nanum Foundation announced on the 7th that it is recruiting for the ‘2022 Youth Culture Clubs.’

The ‘Youth Culture Clubs’ is CJ Nanum Foundation’s representative support project that provides tailored cultural creation and experience opportunities at each growth stage so that youth who love culture can realize their dreams. It supports creative activities in six fields: broadcasting, film, music, performance, cooking, and fashion & beauty.

The ‘Youth Culture Clubs’ are open to any club composed of four or more middle and high school students or youth aged 12 to 18. Applications can be submitted through the CJ Donors Camp website until the 12th of next month.

The selected youth will systematically create the entire process from planning to completion of works together with CJ Nanum Foundation through the ‘Explore’ course starting in April, becoming creators themselves. The creation and experience process will be produced as videos and introduced through the CJ Donors Camp website and SNS (including YouTube). Among the clubs participating in the ‘Explore’ course, 26 outstanding clubs will be selected for the ‘Advance’ course to receive more professional support.

The selected ‘Advance’ course clubs will receive comprehensive cultural education opportunities such as customized mentoring and special lectures from experts in each field. Mentoring is provided by ▲‘University Student Volunteer Group’ composed of majors ▲‘Master Mentors’ composed of top experts in each field ▲‘Expert Mentors’ composed of CJ employees and industry experts currently working. In addition, support is provided for creating digital portfolios to prepare for the creative presentation stage ‘Showcase’ scheduled for January next year.

Last year, ‘Master Mentors’ included tvN’s PD Kim Yugon, film director Yoon Je-kyun, musician Jung Won-young, musical music director Kim Moon-jung, CJ Nine Bridges executive chef Kim Byung-pil, and designer Hong Seung-wan. ‘Special Mentors’ included music director Jung Jae-il, poet Na Tae-joo, and beauty YouTuber Kim Dax. This year, top experts in each field will also participate as mentors to share vivid experiences from the industry.

A CJ Nanum Foundation official said, "'Cultural Dream Keeper' will play a strong companion role for talented youth to find or achieve their dreams," adding, "We will continue to spare no effort in providing educational opportunities and systematic support for children and youth who will lead the future of the cultural industry."
