Hosted by the Gaegum Comprehensive Social Welfare Center (Director Ryu Gang-ryeol), this event was organized to enhance children and adolescents' understanding of the 15-minute city and to share ideas.


The contest will be held in four categories: ▲Elementary division ‘Writing’ and ‘Drawing’ ▲Middle and high school division ‘Writing’ and ‘Drawing.’ Approximately 400 participants, including 100 students each from elementary, middle, and high schools located in Busan and resident children and adolescents, will freely express their ideas on the theme ‘The 15-Minute City I Imagine.’


To ensure smooth event operation, Gaepo Elementary School in Busanjin-gu is providing the venue, and various organizations such as Busan City, the City Education Office, Busanjin-gu, and Pusan National University are sponsoring awards. After the contest, outstanding works will be judged and awarded to the children and adolescents who created them.


As side events, booths will be operated to allow participating children, adolescents, and families to engage in various experiential activities, including ▲15-minute city promotional nail art experience ▲Making eco-friendly effective microorganisms (EM) ▲Healthy oral care education ▲Book sharing ▲Traditional game experiences.



A city official stated, “This event was held not for a government-led unilateral creation of the 15-minute city but to share the values and philosophy of the 15-minute city with citizens, especially to exchange ideas with children and adolescents.” They added, “We hope that through this creative literary contest, the values and philosophy of the 15-minute city will spread further, ultimately realizing Busan as a happy city where people want to live again.”
