Ulsan Youth Projects Pour In... Ulsan City Provides Training for Activity Support Participating Teams

Support for Youth Activities Selection of 15 Teams Online and Offline

Kkumteul, Chulleong, Dungsil, a youth support project wishing for the vigorous dynamism of the ‘Gorae’ (whale) unfolds vibrantly in Ulsan.

On the 13th at 7 p.m., Ulsan City announced that it will launch various youth activity support projects, starting with activity training for participating teams in the 2023 Youth Activity Experience Support Project at the second floor youth hub space ‘Cheonggorae-ui Kkum’ (Dream of Blue Whale) in the Traditional Market Support Center.

The training on this day will be conducted for about 30 youths from 15 teams finally selected for this year’s Youth Activity Experience Support Project, covering project implementation guidelines, how to use the subsidy-related system, activity precautions, and a Q&A session.

This project is based on the Youth Basic Act and Ulsan City Youth Basic Ordinance, first forming 10 teams under the ‘Activity Experience Type’ to support youths in voluntarily exploring career paths and setting life directions.

Additionally, 5 teams under the ‘Problem-Solving Type’ are selected to discover local community issues in daily life and support youth public interest activities through implementing solutions. These teams will carry out activities for six months and receive activity funds ranging from 3 million to a maximum of 6 million KRW per team.

A youth participating in this project said, “There is a perception that Ulsan is a boring city and a city youths leave, but while preparing for this project, we experienced precious time bonding with team members,” adding, “We are determined to carry out powerful activities to completely transform Ulsan into a fun city.”

An official from Ulsan City said, “We hope this will be a great opportunity for youths to discover diverse youth policies from a youth perspective through experiences in various hobbies such as culture, arts, sports, and public interest activities solving local problems in daily life.”

Since January this year, Ulsan City has shifted to directly operating the Ulsan Youth Center, running the youth hub space ‘Cheonggorae-ui Kkum,’ opening the youth counseling center ‘Gominjempang,’ and promoting various customized youth projects.
