Goseong Geomaeul, selected for the Ministry of Public Administration and Security's 'Youth Village Project,' will host a two-month experiment from September to October where young people discover local resources and create new content.
Key points
•Youth-driven local jobs project
•Discovery of local resources and innovative ideas
•Sustainable local activities through market-tested concepts
The project aims beyond simply creating tourist content; it encourages youths to live in Wanggok Village, engage with residents, and find innovative ideas. Traditional and modern perspectives merge to explore new possibilities.
Participants will develop products and programs based on Wanggok's food, spaces, people, and stories, producing prototypes and testing them on-site. This process covers the entire journey from resource discovery to commercialization.
The ultimate goal is not just a two-month stay but establishing sustainable local activities through validated ideas and content in the market. The experiment showcases Goseong Geomaeul's model for sustained community engagement.
