105 Gyeonggi Youth Depart for Overseas Training in UK and Canada on July 20

On the 20th, 105 youth participants in the 'Gyeonggi Youth Ladder' program, organized by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency, departed for overseas training.

The Gyeonggi Youth Ladder program provides opportunities for underprivileged youth to experience different cultures through overseas training, helping them explore career paths and develop themselves.

Since last year, Gyeonggi Province has expanded the existing 'Youth Ladder' program, which was previously limited to young adults, to include adolescents. The entire budget for the program is funded by the lottery fund.

From July 20 to August 8, the participants will stay in two groups in Vancouver, Canada, and Brighton, United Kingdom.

During the training period, the youth will attend English classes in the mornings on weekdays and participate in various activities in the afternoons, such as sports, English-language missions, and team projects. On weekends, they will take part in cultural experiences and visit major attractions.

Hong Seongdeok, Director of Lifelong Education at Gyeonggi Province, said, "I hope this training becomes an important turning point in your lives as you boldly take on the wider world," and urged, "Please pay special attention to your personal safety so that all participants can complete the program in good health and safety."
