Out-of-school Youth Rights Advocates 'Gyeonggi Province Kkumdream Youth Group' Launched on the 24th
The Gyeonggi Province 'Kkumdream Youth Group' was launched on April 24.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that it held the appointment ceremony for the 11th Gyeonggi Province Kkumdream Youth Group at the Jeong Yak-yong Fun Ground Youth Hostel in Namyangju on the same day, and began activities to promote the rights and healthy development of out-of-school youth.
The Kkumdream Youth Group is a youth participation organization in which out-of-school youth directly propose policies and participate in activities to protect their rights and interests. The youth identify and propose policies based on their own realities and needs, and engage in various activities to improve social awareness.
This year, 36 out-of-school youth were appointed to the group through recommendations from city and county out-of-school youth support centers. They received appointment certificates in the name of the Governor of Gyeonggi Province and will be active until December 31. In addition to rights advocacy competency training and policy proposal and presentation activities, they will also participate in Gyeonggi Province’s unique programs such as a leadership camp, election experience, and policy proposal presentation events.
Seo Donghwan, Director of Youth Affairs at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, stated, "The Kkumdream Youth Group, in which out-of-school youth take the initiative to propose policies and engage in activities to improve social awareness, is a true example of promoting the rights and interests of out-of-school youth. Gyeonggi Province will continue to expand opportunities for their participation and spare no effort in providing various forms of support."
