The National Youth Bio-Living Center, operated by the National Youth Activity Promotion Agency, announced on September 23 that it held the "2026 Future Generation Energy Camp" in collaboration with the Korea Energy Agency, targeting teenagers in regions experiencing population decline.

The purpose of the camp was to help teenagers recognize the importance of carbon neutrality, renewable energy, and efficient energy use, and to encourage them to put energy-saving practices into action in their daily lives. A variety of hands-on programs focused on energy and the environment were developed so that participants could more easily and enjoyably understand these key concepts.

A total of 180 teenagers participated in the camp over two sessions. On September 21, a one-day camp was held for 120 students from Jeongeup Elementary School, and from September 22 to 23, a two-day, one-night camp was held for 60 students from Muju Elementary School. The cumulative number of participants was 240.

Kim Sunghak, Director of the National Youth Bio-Living Center, stated, "We plan to expand opportunities for teenagers to gain firsthand experience in bio-life science and various other fields through partnerships with a range of specialized institutions. In particular, we will support youth in becoming energy leaders who continue small actions in their everyday lives through hands-on activities in the fields of energy and environment."
