Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il: "Young People Bring Many Ideas...We Will Expand Youth Participation Opportunities"

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon] One hundred members of the 'Third Term Yongin Youth Policy Network,' where young people directly discover and propose policies for Yongin City, are launching their full-scale activities.

Yongin City held a launch ceremony for the Yongin Youth Policy Network at the City Hall Vision Hall on the 15th.

The launch ceremony was attended by Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il, Yongin City Council Chairman Yoon Won-gyun, and 70 members of the youth policy network.

Mayor Lee personally delivered appointment certificates to youth representatives and offered encouragement.

The Third Term Youth Policy Network was formed through open recruitment in May and June, comprising diverse young people including college students, self-employed entrepreneurs, office workers, and job seekers.

By age group, it consists of teenagers (8 members), people in their 20s (44 members), and people in their 30s (48 members). By residential district, it is organized as follows: Cheoein-gu (25 members), Giheung-gu (42 members), and Suji-gu (33 members).

Going forward, these members will meet at least once a month to identify youth issues and discuss policy initiatives by working group.

The city will operate kick-off meetings, networking days, and mid-term sharing sessions to support their activities.

Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "I look forward to young people proposing brilliant ideas for the eighth-term mayoral administration," and added, "If citizens and young people suggest inconveniences or areas for improvement, we will actively review them and provide unwavering support so that they can lead to creative and proactive administration."
