This contest was organized with the aim of discovering ideas for regional growth based on social, cultural, and environmental issues in the Gangwon region. Teams of Hallym University students presented creative and feasible development plans for the local community.

A total of 23 teams and 60 participants took part, proposing sustainable development strategies for Gangwon on a variety of topics, including: measures to help young people settle in the region and create jobs; cultural welfare programs to expand social participation among the elderly in an aging society; and festival planning to revitalize the regional economy.

Ten teams that passed the document screening advanced to the finals, where they presented their ideas and received professional feedback from the panel of judges.

As a result of the judging, the grand prize went to the "East Sea, Receive Healing" team (project: East Sea Digital Detox Festival), the top excellence award went to the "Jinyeong Easy" team (project: Knock: Knocking on the Door of Society Again), with three teams receiving excellence awards, three teams receiving encouragement awards, and two teams receiving special awards.

Kim Minho, Head of the HUSS Project Group, said, "The 'Stay Here and Now' contest was a meaningful opportunity for students to define the issues facing the local community and propose solutions from a creative perspective. We will continue to expand various extracurricular programs so that the region and the university can grow together."

Meanwhile, the Humanities and Social Convergence Talent Development Project Group (HUSS) at Hallym University operates with the goal of nurturing future talent through regional value innovation, and is actively promoting curricular and extracurricular programs based on five core competencies: creativity, planning, communication, connection, and integration.
