This event was organized by the Changnyeong County Children’s Committee, and was designed to provide children with opportunities for self-development and motivation to explore their own career paths, while building their self-confidence through various occupational and cultural experiences.

The children who participated experienced various jobs such as firefighters, broadcasters, flight attendants, and bakers, and experienced the jobs they had always dreamed of in a realistic way. Through this, they had a meaningful time to increase their understanding of jobs and think more deeply about their future.

Chairman Park So-soon said, “We are running various programs for underprivileged children who have limited opportunities for experiential activities due to economic difficulties,” and added, “I hope this experience will help children develop their dreams.”

In addition to this job experience activity, the Changnyeong-gun Children’s Committee Council is actively carrying out various activities to help children grow up healthily, such as counseling and support for children in need of protection, and child abuse prevention activities. This event was an important opportunity to foster children’s dreams and instill hope for the future.
