Suncheon City, Youth Policies Created Directly by Our Hands

Launching the Search for ‘One Thousand (Cheon) Ideas’ for Youth

Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Nogwan-gyu) announced that it is collecting a thousand (천, 天) ideas for youth policies to create a happy life for young people.

The "Thousand (천, 天) Ideas" is a dedicated channel for youth-specific policy proposals, allowing free submission of opinions without restrictions on format or method, distinguishing it from existing general policy proposal channels such as the National Petition System.

The name "Thousand (천, 天) Ideas" carries a double meaning: "policy proposals for Suncheon (順天) youth" and "gathering 1,000 ideas." It is a space where young people can freely share anything from simple ideas that resolve inconveniences they experience to concrete policy proposals offering solutions.

Anyone can submit ideas through the "Thousand (천, 天) Ideas" board on Suncheon’s online integrated youth platform "Youth Policy 114," which opened on the 1st of this month. The city plans to hold a special event for idea submitters in June.

The collected ideas will undergo a policy preference survey conducted by the Youth Policy Selection Committee, composed mainly of registrants from the 1845 Suncheon Youth Talent Pool. The relevant departments will then review the feasibility of implementation, establish detailed plans, and incorporate them into policies.

Mayor Nogwan-gyu of Suncheon said, “We hope that the Thousand (천, 天) Ideas will not only provide opportunities for youth participation in city administration but also activate a culture of youth engagement.” He added, “We expect this to lead to the discovery of creative and effective youth policies enriched by the desires and freshness of young people.”
