[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Gijang-gun has formed the "7th Gijang-gun Youth Participation Committee" and held an inauguration ceremony on the 26th at the Gijang-gun Office briefing room.

The Gijang-gun Youth Participation Committee provides opportunities for youth to directly participate in policy decision-making, execution, and evaluation to promote youth rights.

The committee was established to enhance the effectiveness of policies by reflecting the opinions and suggestions of youth.

The 7th Youth Participation Committee consists of 19 members, including students from elementary, middle, and high schools within the district, as well as out-of-school youth, selected through an open recruitment process.

The term is one year, and through regular meetings held at least once a month and committee activities, members perform roles such as advising on and proposing policies related to youth, monitoring, and participating in youth-related programs like the Youth Policy Festival and Youth Budget Participation System.

A Gijang-gun official stated, "We ask for active participation in providing opinions and policy proposals on what youth need from their peers' perspective and which policies would be effective," adding, "We will frequently create opportunities for communication to reflect policies proposed by youth in the county administration."
