Youth of Woncheon-dong Engage in Elderly Life Experience Program

Woncheon-dong in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon announced that it is operating the 'Youth Purumi Academy' to help 20 local youth understand their community during the school break and create volunteer opportunities for the village, thereby establishing proper values during adolescence.

On the 7th, the dong announced that youth visited the Yeongtong Social Welfare Center to learn about elderly life at the Senior Life Experience Center, where they received explanations from social workers and gained a comprehensive understanding of seniors' lives.

The youth also had the valuable experience of wearing special experience suits and directly experiencing the hardships faced by the elderly, assuming they had become seniors themselves.

A parent commented, "Through various experiences during the school break, which could otherwise be dull, the youth were able to broaden their horizons and had a good opportunity to show respect for their elders."
