This event covered a wide range of topics, from fundamental rights that all young people must know-such as labor rights, the right to play, equality, participation, and the right to happiness-to digital human rights, which are gaining attention in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). By organizing all these themes under the concept of a "Human Rights Store," the event allowed teenagers to experience human rights as if they were shopping, which was met with an enthusiastic response.

The opening ceremony featured a human rights magic show, a self-produced "Song of Hope and Human Rights Pledge" video, and a "Building the Human Rights Tower Together" performance using rights balloons, all of which heightened the atmosphere of the event.

At the subsequent "Rights Pop-up Store," a total of 10 experience booths were operated, including "Funground 25 Hours," a convenience store part-time job simulation, a rights treasure hunt, and "99 Seconds of Human Rights Standby." In the latter part of the event, a "Rights Talk Cart," which combined a human rights lecture and recreation, provided teenagers with an enjoyable opportunity to reflect on the meaning of human rights.

Vice Mayor Hong Jisun said, "It was a meaningful occasion where teenagers could easily understand and naturally experience human rights in their daily lives," adding, "I hope that today's experience at the Human Rights Festa will serve as an important turning point for young people to recognize and protect their own rights."

Meanwhile, the city plans to continuously expand experiential programs to enhance youth sensitivity to human rights and to spread a culture of youth human rights in the local community, using this Human Rights Festa as a starting point.
