The youths visited the Bitgoeul National Safety Experience Center in Gwangju Metropolitan City, where they learned about and experienced various safety accident types and response methods, including △actions to take and how to call 119 in emergency situations, △fire evacuation and suppression, △earthquake virtual reality (VR), △cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) methods and practice, △automated external defibrillator (AED) usage, and △everyday safety accident prevention rules.

A student named Kim who participated in the program said, “The experiences designed to prepare us for everyday safety accidents were fun and informative. I think I will be able to respond quickly and calmly if accidents like fires or earthquakes occur someday.”

Bang Myeong-hyeok, director of the Boseong Volunteer Center, said, “When a safety disaster occurs, people may understand it intellectually but panic if their body does not remember the response. I hope this training helped participants understand the importance of safety and realize it physically.”

Meanwhile, from March to April, Boseong-gun operated the 'Visiting Youth Volunteer School,' providing basic volunteer education to 749 youths from seven middle and high schools.
