Suwon Youth Support Center Holds 4th Suwon Youth Network Gathering

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] The Suwon Youth Support Center held the 4th gathering of the '2019 Suwon Youth Network' at Cheongnyeon Param-jidae in Paldal-gu on the 23rd.

The event, held under the theme 'Health is Your Real Qualification,' proceeded with the 'Suwon Youth School Graduation Ceremony,' 'Tabata Interval Training,' a film screening, and a talk concert. Approximately 200 Suwon youth participated.

The Suwon Youth School, which began in June, is a program that supports youth in career development, employment, and entrepreneurship. Certificates of completion were awarded to 13 youth who have completed the program so far.

Tabata interval training is a method of exercising for 4 minutes, with one set consisting of 20 seconds of high-intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest.

The film 'Goodbye Summer,' which tells the story of a high school senior living with a limited lifespan, was also screened. A 'Talk with the Audience' program followed, in which director Park Ju-young, who directed the film, shared concerns with the audience and engaged in conversation.

A talk concert commemorating the 100th episode of 'Suwon Cure' was also held. Suwon Cure is a counseling program for youth concerns. Young participants served as panelists, discussing how Suwon Cure has affected their lives.

One youth who participated in the talk concert said, "I was able to freely discuss concerns I couldn't even share with family or friends at 'Suwon Cure,'" adding, "Thanks to this, I received positive influence, such as a significant change in how I view society."

Choi Yun-jeong, Director of the Suwon Youth Support Center, said, "We will prepare beneficial and diverse programs next year so that Suwon's youth culture can become even more activated."

The Suwon Youth Network is a gathering that captures the diverse thoughts and voices of Suwon youth. Any young person working or residing in Suwon can participate.
