Jongno International Seodang is a unique youth education and employment model in Jongno-gu that comprehensively provides education to develop essential skills for 21st-century global talents, including English, humanities literacy, and communication skills. It not only supports job creation by strengthening youth capabilities but also offers differentiated learning opportunities for adolescents.

Mayor Jeong Mun-heon emphasized, “Through specialized English education and Seodang humanities education, we aim to strengthen the capabilities of youth mentors and youth mentees and support their inner growth. We will devote all efforts to solidifying the project for youth job creation and enhancing satisfaction among youth, adolescents, and parents alike.”
