Operation of Geumcheon Suni's House Youth History and Career Experience Program
Career experiences as 'History Narrator' and 'Webtoon Artist' for elementary and middle school students
Applications accepted from April to December by class units according to each school's academic schedule

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it will operate the "Youth History and Career Experience Program" at Geumcheon Suni's House (Guro Industrial Complex Workers' Life Experience Center) for elementary and middle school students until December.

The program is designed to help youth understand the history and development of G-Valley and experience various occupations to aid in self-directed future planning.

Participants can choose to join one of two programs: Suni's Cartoon Workshop or Suni's Geumcheon Job Stories.

The Suni's Cartoon Workshop program teaches the labor and human rights history of the Guro Industrial Complex era from a professional history commentator and introduces the occupation of a webtoon artist. Participants experience the Workers' House and become webtoon artists themselves, drawing 4-panel comics on portable computers.

The Suni's Geumcheon Job Stories program covers the modern history from the Guro Industrial Complex to G-Valley and introduces the occupation of a history commentator. Participants explore G-Valley and Geumcheon-gu's future heritage on foot and have time to promote travel products they plan as history commentators.

Applications can be made by class units, and schools wishing to participate can apply by phone to the Geumcheon-gu Office's Regional Economy Division. Priority recruitment is for elementary and middle school students in the first half of the year, and participation is completely free of charge.

Last year, the program operated experience programs on four occupations including robot coding, 3D, color therapist, and professional photo planner while exploring the Workers' Life Experience Center, with a total of 331 participants from 20 classes in 7 schools.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, "The Geumcheon Suni's House (Guro Industrial Complex Workers' Life Experience Center) Youth History and Career Program provides enjoyable experiences and continues to receive positive responses from students," adding, "We hope this will be a valuable time for youth, who are our future, to learn about the industrial history of G-Valley and explore the world of occupations."
