As a result of this program, we believe we were able to convey the content of Regional Revitalization 2.0 to many people and deepen their understanding.

Even after this program, the government will continue to support local governments and promote awareness through lectures at various events, etc., in accordance with the "Regional Revitalization 2.0 Basic Plan" approved by the Cabinet on June 13, 2025, with the aim of realizing a sustainable society where everyone can live happily, safely and securely, whether in urban or rural areas, and "fun rural areas" that are chosen by young people and women.
