[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City is recruiting participating teams for the ‘Youth Community Revitalization Project’ until February 10 to support young people settling in the region.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Ulsan City, this project supports public interest activities and consulting linked to local resources to help young people establish themselves as community members.

Eligible applicants are groups or organizations composed of at least five young people aged 19 to 34 who reside with their registered address in Ulsan.

However, groups whose project scope extends beyond Ulsan City, those receiving funding for the same project from the national government or other local governments/public organizations, and private groups formed solely for socializing or profit-making purposes are excluded.

Ulsan will select six teams and provide each team with 8 million KRW in activity funds and up to 1 million KRW for consulting, promotion, and exchange meeting expenses during the activity period (March to November).

Additionally, teams selected as outstanding youth communities in the final evaluation will receive awards from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We hope that various ideas from youth utilizing local resources can be realized through this project,” and added, “We will put more effort into discovering and revitalizing diverse youth policies through the newly established Population and Youth Division this year.”

Last year, the six selected Ulsan youth communities carried out various activities in fields such as △ youth artist exhibitions and cultural arts lectures for citizens △ formation of solidarity among young artists and support for capacity building △ production of Youth Chronicles containing young people’s stories △ independent film screenings and director talk programs △ thematic education and discussions for self-development △ website construction for local activists △ independent film screenings and director talk programs, among others.
