Abstract

Objectives Community-centered youth education that develops the ability to solve problems in the local community is of great importance for the youth who must live in the era of the new normal after the pandemic. Therefore, this study intends to reveal how convergence thinking in architecture can play a role in the education of youth in the local community and what its limitations and possibilities are through a review of ‘2021 Jeju Youth Architecture School’.
 Methods First, a theoretical review was conducted on community-centered youth education and architecture education, which were the theoretical backgrounds for the development of the Jeju Youth Architecture School program. Next, the characteristics of the proposed program (educational subject, curriculum, educational content, etc.) were considered. Finally, the limitations and possibilities of the program were considered through analysis and evaluation of the results of the youth architecture school.
 Results As the educational goals of the program, ‘sociality’ to understand the social roles and responsibilities of architects, ‘creativity’ to understand how ideas are built into architectural spaces, and ‘locality’ to seek a role as a member of the community were shared. In order to realize the educational goals, the program could be divided into three stages: ‘value sharing, goal setting, suggestion and evaluation’. As a result of the evaluation, the architect's new role (sociality) and creative architectural alternatives (creativity) were highly evaluated for a clear social phenomenon called the corona pandemic. On the other hand, it could be revealed that the results of concerns about the region (locality) due to the rigidity caused by the corona were not relatively well evaluated.
 Conclusions ‘2021 Jeju Youth Architecture School’ was able to reveal that it has the characteristics of community-centered youth architecture education, such as developing a cooperative system and developing educational goals and programs among various local actors. In addition, it was confirmed that education using local resources can contribute to the discovery and resolution of social problems and the expression of creativity among young people.
