[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] The Jeonnam Gokseong-gun Future Education Foundation announced that on the 1st, it co-hosted the 2022 Gokseong-gun Youth Participatory Budgeting with the Jeollanam-do Gokseong Office of Education, Gokseong Youth Culture House, and Okgwa Youth Culture House at the Gokseong County Council.

They conducted a fair assessment in four categories: necessity, creativity, efficiency and expected effects, teamwork, and presentation persuasiveness.
Yoon Young-gyu, Chairman of the Gokseong County Council, who participated in the Youth Participatory Budgeting review, said, “The Youth Participatory Budgeting is a democratic system operated with youth directly proposing policies, which makes it more meaningful and significant.” He added, “I hope the students make excellent proposals for youth and lead positive outcomes that can have a good influence.”
