The formal title of Samdi is Gwangju Youth Creative Hub. samdi, supported by Gwangju City, is a specialized youth facility which operates in cooperation with Chonnam National University, Gwangju YMCA, and Haja Center. In an era of high unemployment and low growth, there is a demand for youth that have an al-encompassing and multifunctional capability of reacting sensitively to changes in their environment. Therefore, rather than acquiring simple work experience, youth must be able to continuously learn and renew their skills based on what life presents to them. In other words, youth need a space that will help them develop their ability to approach their lives afresh with creative intention.

For this reason, our center has constructed a program for Gwangju’s youth that will help individuals become a fashionable life-designer and social-designer that can beautifully mold society. In essence, samdi develops a career program that is centralized on future core competencies. In order to acquire these competencies, samdi’s programs are founded upon learning, relationships, and a career model based on one’s own creativity.
