Activation of Daebang, Dongjak, and Sadang Youth Culture Centers Operation...Significant Addition of Youth-Preferred Programs and Utilization of Idle Time for Adult Special Lectures
The Dongjak-gu Youth Culture House has transformed into an open cultural complex space for residents.
Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) announced that it will revitalize the operation of Daebang, Dongjak, and Sadang Youth Culture Houses so that not only youth but also local residents can use them.
The district plans to introduce a large number of programs preferred by youth at the three facilities and hold special adult lectures during off-peak hours when facility usage is low.
First, to nurture future talents, a total of 38 courses will be offered, expanding career and job-related as well as creative convergence programs that allow youth to gain diverse experiences and find their dreams.
At Daebang Youth Culture House (Yeouidaebang-ro 36-gil 71), classes for media creators such as webtoons and emoticons, as well as future education related to the 4th industrial revolution including artificial intelligence, coding, and beat making, will be conducted.
Dongjak Youth Culture House (Sangdo-ro 15ba-gil 5) will newly offer classes to discover children’s talents and skills, including K-POP dance, baking, creative science, and future job experiences.
Sadang Youth Culture House (Sadang-ro 23-gil 57-7) will provide programs such as Dream Tree Ballet, line dance, and height growth classes to support the healthy development of growing youth.
Additionally, the district intends to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to residents by utilizing facility spaces that are vacant from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays during school hours.
Starting this month, a visiting adult cultural program will be launched, offering lectures in digital fields such as artificial intelligence and coding, as well as arts-related classes including 3D printing, pen drawing, skill embroidery, and drawing.
Support for adult club activities linked with nearby community centers for each facility, and special lectures by invited experts in cooperation with the entrance exam support center, will be provided to actively encourage facility use through collaboration with local institutions.
Residents who wish to participate in the programs can visit the respective Youth Culture House or inquire by phone for guidance.
Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “We have newly revamped the Youth Culture Houses into spaces where youth can communicate and experience cultural activities, and residents can also enjoy together. We will continue to expand educational infrastructure so that youth can nurture their dreams.”
