The 5th Jeollanam-do Youth Social Participation Presentation Contest Successfully Concluded
The Beginning of Change in Jeollanam-do with Youth
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Jeollanam-do and the Jeollanam-do Youth Future Foundation announced on the 5th that they held the ‘Jeollanam-do Youth Social Participation Presentation Contest,’ where youth independently discover and propose policies, at the Jeonnam Women and Family Foundation on the 2nd.
Held for the fifth time this year, the Jeollanam-do Youth Social Participation Presentation Contest was organized to provide youth with opportunities to participate as members of the local community by proposing policies and solutions necessary for changes in Jeollanam-do’s local society.
This year’s contest was conducted in the form of on-site presentations of policy proposals by 29 individual and group teams selected through the first round of screening. The final results were determined by combining audience evaluation votes and scores from professional judges.
Outstanding policies included an expanded commuting support policy for disabled high school students (Kim Juhwan and four others from Anjwa High School), and education for the elderly on kiosk usage and mobile education through buses equipped with digital devices (Seo Jangwon from Mokpo Aehyang Middle School), among other innovative policy ideas.
