The Gyeongbuk Provincial Council held the 123rd Gyeongbuk Provincial Council Youth Assembly Classroom at the main assembly hall on October 24, with the participation of 19 students from Woosuk Girls' High School in Sangju.

On this day, first- and second-year students from Woosuk Girls' High School in Sangju took on the roles of provincial council members, following the actual procedures of a plenary session. Through this, they deepened their understanding of legislative activities and directly experienced the democratic decision-making process.

The students delivered three-minute speeches on topics such as the need for citizen awareness training regarding local fire safety issues, fire facility construction, proactive and effective responses to wildfires, local safety measures to strengthen fire prevention and response, ways to reinforce wildfire prevention and response systems, and the necessity of addressing vulnerabilities in wildfire and construction fire safety. Subsequently, they proposed a total of five agenda items, including an ordinance bill to strengthen fire prevention and response, and an ordinance bill to enhance wildfire prevention and response. Each item was actively discussed and put to a vote.

One student who presented an ordinance bill shared, "By taking on the role of a provincial council member myself, I was able to better understand the role and importance of the council. It was a meaningful experience."

Meanwhile, Nam Youngsook, a provincial council member from the Sangju area, encouraged the students, saying, "I hope that through today's Youth Assembly Classroom, you will grow into outstanding talents who will lead our region and country in the future."

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Council provides field-based education on the roles and functions of local councils for elementary, middle, and high school students in the Gyeongbuk region. With high participation and positive responses every year, it has established itself as a representative educational program of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council.
