The brief

Buyeo Pre Living Lab formed part of Taiwan Global Pathfinders Initiative (青年百億海外圓夢基金計畫), under the project 光影造路:青年自媒體行動. The wider Korea programme was scheduled for 18 August–1 September 2026 in Buyeo and Chungju. HYEAN delivered the Buyeo stage, 18–24 August.

The challenge

  • Turn a visit into learning through observation, interviews and creative work.
  • Connect young visitors with local people and give their findings a shared audience.

What we did

  1. Connected heritage workshops, museum learning and local business visits.
  2. Coordinated the Buyeo field programme, with Beyond Village Basecamp as a meeting and creative workspace.
  3. Brought participants, residents and local partners together through interviews, community activity and a youth roundtable.
  4. Linked field observation and filmmaking to a closing showcase and a public record of the work.
