Youth Committee’s First Participation Achieves Intergenerational Community Self-Governance
The Residents’ Assembly is a public forum where residents directly propose projects needed for their village and decide on priorities. This year’s assembly expanded resident participation by operating a cooperative body with the Tongjang Autonomous Council (통장자율회) to identify agenda items, and agendas were gathered through a variety of methods.
The Youth Committee (청소년분과위원회), launched for the first time this year, took part in preparing for the assembly and running the event, adding meaning to community self-governance built together across generations.
