The Visiting Youth Theater is a program that allows elderly residents who have difficulty getting around or accessing movie theaters to watch films for free at nearby welfare centers. Screenings will be held at 10 locations, including Mokdong Senior Welfare Center, Sinwol Integrated Social Welfare Center, Yangcheon Senior Welfare Center, and Yangcheon Haenuri Welfare Center. Each facility will host at least one screening per month, based on their respective schedules.

The district office stated that this year's screenings were selected based on a pre-conducted survey of residents' preferences, and that the genres have been expanded to include not only classic masterpieces but also comedies and dramas. During the heat wave period, the program will also allow families with children to attend together, in addition to seniors.

Residents aged 60 and above who live in Yangcheon District can enjoy the screenings for free simply by visiting their nearest welfare center, with no prior registration required. Screening schedules and information about the films can be found by contacting the Senior Welfare Division of Yangcheon District Office (02-2620-3372) or by inquiring at each welfare center.

In addition, the district is operating a variety of cultural and leisure programs for seniors, such as the collaborative art creation program with local artists 'Canvas with Time', the 'Street Exhibition' held in conjunction with the Y-Education Expo Lifelong Learning Festival, a 'Smartphone Photography School', and 'Line Dance' classes.

District Mayor Lee Kijai stated, "I hope the Visiting Youth Theater provides our seniors with a precious time to reminisce about their youth and share warm moments with neighbors. We will continue to promote a wide range of practical cultural and leisure programs so that our seniors can enjoy a healthy and happy life in their later years."
