Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) and the Gwangjin Youth Center jointly hosted the youth festival "Youth Harmony Yard," created through a public-private partnership.

This festival was promoted with the goal of providing a cultural and artistic space that the whole family can enjoy. It is meaningful in that both youth and residents participated from planning to operation, realizing one of the promises of the 8th local government administration: "Supporting the revitalization of youth culture in the Gwangjang-dong area."

On the 23rd, the festival venue was filled with various enjoyable activities. In particular, 20 experience booths attracted many visitors' attention. Activities such as brush calligraphy, watercolor painting, mini arcade, and recycling (upcycling) received positive responses for their fun and engaging nature.

Various attractions were also added. Handmade soap, perfume, and fruit syrup were sold, and a youth smoking and drinking cessation campaign helped raise awareness. Additionally, the atmosphere was energized by performances directly organized by youth and residents, including choir, pungmul (traditional Korean percussion music), and social dance.

About 700 residents came and went throughout the day, making the event a great success. Students who participated in the event shared their thoughts, saying, "It's great that a festival for youth was held," and "I had a fun day trying out and making various things with my friends."

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, "I hope this festival became a healthy cultural experience time where youth and local residents harmonize and communicate," and added, "We will do our best to create leisure culture where students can gain diverse experiences."
