Mayor Joo Gwangdeok emphasized the importance of creating a space where young people can grow and communicate together as the core message of this event.
Mayor Joo Gwangdeok reiterated his youth-centered administrative philosophy, stating, "I hope the Youth Language School will go beyond simple language classes to become a place where young people encourage one another and lay important stepping stones in their lives."
'Youth Language School' is a community-based language program newly launched in Namyangju City this year. It is designed to help young people improve their language skills and naturally build connections with each other through small group, conversation-focused classes.
This program will run for a total of 12 weeks from July to September, offering three courses?English, Chinese, and Spanish?each with both weekday and weekend sessions.

The orientation was attended by 70 participating young people and included a program introduction, instructor introductions, and time for communication within each class.
