Anseong-si Selects 5 Community-Based Youth Spaces 'Youth Stop'

Full-scale Operation Starting from May

On the 28th, Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it has selected five locations for the 'Youth Stop (Cheongryujang)' project, a living-oriented youth space operation, and plans to officially operate them starting in May.

The selected locations are ▲ Muihwashil (25-8 Seungdu 1-gil, Gongdo-eup) ▲ Workshop H (16-6 Munteo-gil, Gongdo-eup) ▲ Baobab Woodworking Academy (25-7 Beotkkot-gil, Gongdo-eup) ▲ Happy Reading Small Library (72 Ayang-ro) ▲ Cafe Itda (13 Jungang-ro 371beon-gil).

Based on survey results, the city plans to operate various programs tailored to the characteristics of each space in fields such as crafts, cultural arts, and humanities, together with the hub-type youth cultural space 'Youth Toktok,' from May to November.

Originally, the city planned to operate three 'Cheongryujang' locations with a project budget of 20 million KRW secured through a Gyeonggi Province public contest, but to reflect the diverse needs of youth, it additionally secured 10 million KRW in provincial funds to expand the operation to five locations.

Kim Bora, mayor of Anseong City, stated, "We will continue to strive to make the city a place where young people want to live through proactive youth policies."
