Busan Youth School 2nd Semester Enrollment Announcement.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City is recruiting young people who wish to participate in the ‘2022 Busan Youth School 2nd Semester Youth Courses’ until August 21.

Since 2020, the ‘Busan Youth School’ has been a project where youth organizations based in the city act as course operators and directly plan educational programs to provide to young people. It offers symbolic networking opportunities that a ‘school’?a place of learning and exchange?provides to youth.

This year, a total of 16 courses were opened at Busan Youth School, with 8 courses each in the 1st and 2nd semesters. In the 1st semester, which ran until July, 136 young people participated and successfully completed 10 weeks of classes on topics such as climate crisis, metaverse, tap dance, podcasts, and self-development.

The 8 courses offered in the 2nd semester cover diverse and unique topics that are not easily encountered in everyday life, including health, theater, video translation, video production, independent publishing, film distribution, environmental issues, and gender equality. Each course accommodates about 15 to 20 students.

Detailed course information and participation applications are available through the Busan Youth Platform, and any Busan youth aged between 18 and 34 can apply. The application period is until August 21.

After selecting participants at the end of August, a 10-week educational program will be conducted until November, and the 2nd semester will conclude with an exchange event among the youth at the end of November.

Yoon Jae Lee, Director of the Youth Industry-Academia Startup Bureau of the city, said, “I hope local youth gain new experiences and opportunities for exchange through Busan Youth School that they have not had before, and have time to deeply explore themselves.” He added, “We will continue to strive to make Busan Youth School a place where young people grow and communicate together, becoming a solid ‘Youth G(ji)dae.’”
