The 'DO:NE Runcation' held in Jeju from the 25th to 27th over four days was a youth-led experiment that directly showcased this trend. As part of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's Youth Growth Project, 26 young people operated by Jeju Pathfinder directly explored Jeju and planned runcation content, redrawing the boundaries between 'ways of learning' and 'spaces of residence.' ■ Seven Runcations Interpreting the Region Participants completed a 2-night, 3-day runcation plan starting with a tour of Jeju City's original downtown and corporate interviews, followed by team-based autonomous exploration. The seven teams' proposed ideas interpreted Jeju in different ways while presenting content-viable structures. Notable examples include ▲'RUN&LEARN' combining running and learning content using the Dodu Peak area ▲immersive experiences combining abandoned school spaces and folklore ▲haenyeo (female diver) job and cultural experiences for foreign youth ▲art-based self-reflection workshops ▲seasonal ingredients docent experiences ▲life retrospective content reflecting on life's journey ▲'Yomang Jinhakgyo,' a residential school inducing daily transformation, and more. Among these, the runner team's planning proposal 'RUN&LEARN' was selected as an outstanding idea and underwent on-site pilot experience.

Lee Su-ji (27), a participant from outside the region, said, "Planning while directly seeing Jeju's nature felt much more real." Kim Gun (33), a youth living in Jeju, said, "Through the eyes of outside young people, the familiar Jeju appeared new." Young people performed the entire process from research, exploration, planning, to presentation themselves, demonstrating their interpretive skills about the region and content design capabilities in practice.

Among 114 applicants, 26 were finally selected, and the planned contents were organized considering both future regional applicability and scalability amid high participation competition. Lee Joo-hyun, director of Jeju Pathfinder Center, said, "Though it was a short period, young people achieved significant growth through the process of deeply exploring Jeju and realizing ideas," adding, "We will continue follow-up support so the planned programs can be reflected in actual policies and on-site activities."

This is an attempt to connect residential educational content combining learning and vacation, beyond existing 'workation,' with the region's future industries. Jeju Governor Oh Young-hoon said, "Jeju is the optimal place for those wanting to enjoy both learning and rest," emphasizing, "We are expanding Jeju's potential as an open learning space beyond the classroom." 'DO:NE' is seen as particularly significant as a case where the field moved first within the direction of Jeju Province, demonstrating execution ahead of policy conception. Though 'DO:NE' has ended, runcation in Jeju has only just begun. The experiment, directly designed by young people and responded to by the field, is not confining Jeju to the definition of an 'education city' but expanding it as an island where learning resides, a new horizon of residential learning.
