4 Tips to Support Youth Independence?

Dongdaemun-gu Offers Education in Four Themes to Support Independence for Youth Aged 19-39: From Financial and Housing Knowledge to Self-Defense and Mindfulness Practice

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Ilpyeong Lee) announced on the 23rd that it will operate the youth academy "2024 Dongdaemun-gu Wise Youth Life" to help young people become independent.

"Wise Youth Life" is a customized education program prepared by Dongdaemun-gu reflecting the main interests of young people.

The education consists of four themes: ▲Finance ▲Housing ▲Self-defense ▲Mental Healing, and will be conducted as a total of 8 sessions, twice per theme, from September 24 to October 21.

Participants are young people aged 19 to 39, and can apply by accessing the 'QR code' on the right side of the notice.

The first theme, "Wise Finance Education," provides knowledge and information about consumption, asset management, and safe financial life.

During the second theme, "Comfortable Housing Education," a professional organizer who appeared on KBS's "Saengsaeng Information" will be invited to teach space organization and simple home repair methods.

There is also a "Joyful Mind Education" to take care of mental health through activities such as ▲giving yourself flower gifts ▲making keychains, helping participants escape from busy and intense daily life.

Unlike the three education sessions held on the 2nd basement floor of Dapsimni Library, the last theme, "Safe Self-defense Education," will be held in the multipurpose auditorium on the 2nd floor of Dongdaemun-gu Office.

This is a practice-oriented education where young people learn ▲self-defense ▲basic jiu-jitsu moves to effectively escape from emergency situations.

To allow more young people to participate, all education sessions are held on weekdays from 7 PM to 9 PM.
