Gyeonggi Provincial Government Gwanggyo New Office Building

Gyeonggi Province will operate 24 'Gyeonggi-do Youth Communities' until November to support young people in various fields such as culture, arts, and village regeneration.

On the 22nd, the province held a launch ceremony for the youth communities at Dodamso (the former governor's residence), attended by Yeom Tae-young, the provincial deputy governor for economic affairs, and participating youth, the province announced on the 23rd.

Previously, the province selected 24 teams, including Suwon Localer, through a public contest in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and city and county governments.

Until November, these teams will carry out various activities such as ▲ communicating and interacting with local residents through cultural and artistic activities ▲ revitalizing local communities through village regeneration or content development ▲ supporting the settlement and network formation of local youth ▲ providing healing and social participation support for multicultural families, single-person households, and marginalized groups ▲ attracting and raising interest in youth inflow to rural areas.

Starting with the launch ceremony, the province will create sustainable exchange platforms among youth communities by region or field from next month. To strengthen the capabilities of the youth communities, tailored education and visits to exemplary cases will also be supported. In November, a performance sharing event will be held to share and encourage the achievements of the youth community activities.

At the launch ceremony, the event began with a congratulatory performance by Ensemble Kota, active as a Gyeonggi-do youth community, followed by the 'Itda' performance where the deputy governor for economic affairs and the youth communities joined hands to encourage each other's activities and strengthen cooperation. During the 'Blue Mailbox' talk concert, the deputy governor and youth communities shared and empathized with the concerns of young people and had a time of communication.

Yeom Tae-young, the provincial deputy governor for economic affairs, said, "The activities of youth communities will be a great opportunity to spread social value in local communities," adding, "I expect the cooperation and challenges of youth activists to create a vibrant society, and we will spare no support and opportunities needed."

Meanwhile, to ensure the continuous activities and operational foundation of youth communities that participated in the project over the past three years, the province has selected and supported five Gyeonggi-do youth communities that previously participated through the Gyeonggi Youth Support Project Group starting this year.
