Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it is promoting the ‘2023 Yangcheon Youth Challenge Project,’ which supports fresh and diverse ideas from youth to contribute to local community development and the formation of healthy youth communities, and is recruiting 5 teams to participate by June 26.

The ‘Yangcheon Youth Challenge Project’ is a program that discovers necessary local public agendas from the youth perspective and provides opportunities to realize ideas. Since its launch in 2019, 18 organizations and over 90 youth have participated. Last year, three projects were selected and supported: ‘Youth Bibliotherapy Program,’ ‘Creative Performance for Emerging Artists in Yangcheon-gu,’ and ‘Youth’s Joyful Tomorrow.’

This year’s call for proposals focuses on four themes: ▲ Activation of youth spaces and communities ▲ Discovery of cultural content to revitalize the region ▲ Activities to build social networks among youth ▲ Other innovative youth ideas to resolve local public issues.
