Gangjin-gun Promotes Youth Policy Development Project

Youth Participation Committee Creates Youth Policies Reflecting Youth Voices

[Gangjin=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, is conducting the 'Youth Policy Making Project' from this month until November to reflect the opinions of local youth in policies and promote the enhancement of youth rights.

This project involves 12 members of the Youth Participation Committee and is conducted using facilitation meeting techniques. Youth will have time to discuss the problems they feel in their daily lives and possible solutions by understanding related policies and analyzing Gangjin youth policies.

By November, the process of concretizing and selecting policy ideas will be completed, followed by a youth policy presentation, youth policy monitoring, and evaluation meetings.

The Youth Participation Committee operates at the Youth Training Center with about 15 youth appointed annually to realize youth participation rights and to ensure that projects and policies reflecting youth voices are incorporated into county administration. The appointment period is one year, during which various activities such as youth policy proposals, institution visits, and campaigns are promoted.

Kim Hak-dong, Director of the Resident Welfare Office, said, "The experience of identifying and solving social problems independently during youth by creating policies will greatly help develop potential capabilities as members of the local community," and added, "We will strive to raise social awareness and consensus on the importance of youth policies."
