On the morning of March 21, at 10:00 a.m., Daejeon City held an appointment ceremony for the "Daejeon Metropolitan City Youth Participation Committee" at the Daejeon Youth WeCan Center, where young people directly participate in the policy-making process to promote their rights and interests.

On this day, appointment certificates were awarded to 14 youths who were selected through an open recruitment and screening process.

The Youth Participation Committee operates in accordance with Article 5-2 of the "Framework Act on Youth" and the "Ordinance on the Organization and Operation of the Daejeon Metropolitan City Youth Participation Committee." The term of office for committee members is one year.

Going forward, the committee will engage in a variety of activities, including operating a youth policy proposal school, holding a youth policy proposal competition, monitoring the implementation of initiatives, participating in forums and campaigns, and conducting exchanges with other regions.

In particular, this committee is composed of a diverse range of age groups, including elementary, middle, and high school students as well as university students, and is therefore expected to collect a wide range of opinions and make meaningful policy proposals.

Choi Youngsook, Director of the Women, Family, and Youth Department of Daejeon City, said, "Congratulations on your appointment as youth participation committee members. I hope you will actively make your voices heard with a sense of responsibility and pride as representatives of Daejeon's youth." She added, "We will continue to provide interest and support so that the innovative policies proposed by the committee can be reflected in the city's administration."
