Twenty young individuals selected for the "Blue House Youth Fellowship" reported for their first day of work at the Blue House on September 1. Over the next six months, they will collaborate with Blue House staff on youth-related projects, aiming to incorporate the perspectives and voices of young people into policy-making.
According to the Blue House, Kang Hoon-sik, the Chief of Staff to the President, conducted an orientation for the young fellows that afternoon.
In his opening remarks, Kang expressed his hope that the fellows would serve as "sensors" to identify policies that do not align with the youth perspective and as "speakers" to communicate policies in a language that resonates with young people.
The event lasted approximately 90 minutes and included the presentation of fellowship certificates, an introduction to the operational direction by the Youth Future Secretary, and a Q&A session between Kang and the young fellows.
Kang emphasized, "I will strive to ensure that the opinions of the fellows regarding the shortcomings of the government are reflected in national policy. Please do your best to make youth the starting point and main agents of policy-making."
