Daegu Happiness Promotion Institute Holds Economic and Financial Short Film Screening for Out-of-School Youth

The 'Daegu Out-of-School Youth Economic and Financial Program Short Film Screening,' operated by the Daegu Happiness Promotion Institute (Chairman Bae Ki-chul) with support from the KB Financial Public Interest Foundation, was held on December 10 at Megabox Mankyung Hall.

This program, now in its fourth year since its launch in 2022, is a leading regional public-private partnership initiative. It is conducted annually to strengthen the economic and financial capabilities of out-of-school youth and to support their self-directed career exploration. With sponsorship from the KB Financial Public Interest Foundation, operation by the Daegu Happiness Promotion Institute, and participation from local cultural and welfare organizations, it has established itself as a youth support model created by the local community.

On the 10th, the 'Daegu Out-of-School Youth Economic and Financial Program Short Film Screening' was held at Megabox Mankyung Hall in downtown Daegu.

This year, the program was carried out in stages, including basic economic and financial prevention education, self-directed film production activities, a financial guardian camp for the elderly, and the screening event.

This screening served as a comprehensive event to share the annual step-by-step activities, providing an opportunity to showcase short films creatively produced by the youth based on what they learned during the education and activities.

During the film production process, the youth took charge of the entire process themselves, from learning economic and financial concepts to scenario development, filming, directing, and editing. The short films naturally connected educational content such as consumption management, asset management, career exploration, and financial crisis prevention with everyday stories, resonating with the audience.

Youth participants at the screening shared their thoughts, saying, "Economics and finance used to feel difficult, but through these activities, I was able to understand them naturally," and "Seeing our film screened in a theater gave me a great sense of accomplishment."

Bae Ki-chul, Chairman of the Daegu Happiness Promotion Institute, stated, "This program, which has continued for four years with the support of the KB Financial Public Interest Foundation and collaboration with public institutions, is a great example of youth support created by the local community." He added, "The Daegu Happiness Promotion Institute will continue to strengthen the public-private partnership-based support system to further expand youth independence and social participation."
