It is a cafe and a platform for innovation and entrepreneurship. Wuhou Youth settlement is officially opened.

What can you think of in a comfortably decorated cafe? Get together with friends, have a cup of coffee, have a chat. The Wuhou Youth settlement, located at No. 15, 34, School Street, is not only a cafe, but also a platform for young people to innovate, start businesses and exchange ideas. A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Wuhou District Committee that the "Wuhou Youth settlement", a youth activity position built by the Wuhou District Committee of the Communist Youth League, which integrates ideological collision, cultural creativity, entrepreneurial support, and joint office, has been on trial for nearly a month and is now officially open.

Create an open platform for youth exchange

Social organizations participate in market-oriented operation

Transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, tables and chairs are placed neatly, and the light gray walls are dotted with modern pictures. Here, there are small groups of young people sitting together, drinking coffee, playing with the computer, and talking from time to time. In the afternoon the day before yesterday, when I came to the Wuhou Youth settlement at 34 School Street, the reporter saw that there are reading space, leisure and entertainment space, sunshine teahouse and other areas in this 80-square-meter street-facing cafe, and there are also free WIFI for guests to use.

"the function of this youth settlement is not only the exchange of ideas and entrepreneurial sharing, we hope that it can eventually become a three-dimensional space for all-round services for young people." The head of the League Department of the Communist Youth League Wuhou District Committee told the reporter.

It is understood that the settlement is a youth activity position established by the Wuhou District Committee of the Communist Youth League after investigating the youth space in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and the "open platform" and "market-oriented operation" are the concentrated embodiment of this new operation mode.

"We are mainly open to the broad masses of young people, youth social organizations and social resources, so as to fully integrate more forces conducive to the growth and development of young people, so as to form cross-border exchanges." According to reports, the settlement is the policy guidance and early financial support provided by the Wuhou District Committee of the Communist Youth League. The school street community support site, a social organization "Chengdu Aisi Youth Public Welfare Development Center", undertakes the operation of this youth space. At present, the space has entered the stage of trial operation, and the "self-hematopoiesis" mechanism of the platform is being actively explored to maximize the operational vitality and gradually realize the sustainable and independent operation of the settlement.

"in the next step, we hope to build such a platform for grass-roots youth organizations in every street in the region, so as to really help young people grow up and guide them to become a new generation of young people who are actively struggling." The relevant person in charge of the Wuhou District Committee of the Communist Youth League said.

Hold salons regularly

Share "book-style life" in innovative ways

Wang Ting, a senior at Chengdu University of Technology, always likes to join the fun in youth settlements after class. "here, you can not only drink coffee and read, but also see a lot of new things that are not available in the school." In the middle of this month, Wang Ting signed up to participate in a "freshly brewed coffee" teaching exchange activity in the "Youth settlement".

"We regularly organise various lectures, salons and movie watching activities on topics such as social innovation, culture and arts, aesthetics of life, and so on, so as to build a platform for exchange and sharing among different youth communities." Zhang Liangying, head of Wuhou Youth settlement and executive director of Chengdu Aisi Youth Public Welfare Development Center, said.

According to reports, "Wuhou Youth settlement" joined with the world's first Chinese online physical book library, introduced the "In Library" library, and invited mature coffee brands to settle in, providing freshly ground coffee and exquisite desserts for young friends, and sharing "book-style life" in innovative ways. At the same time, the youth settlement has also set up an exhibition and sales area for cultural and creative products, which not only includes all kinds of original, novel and fun creative products in Chengdu, but also encourages individuals and entrepreneurial teams to display and sell their products here.

"Cultural exchange activities are held here at least four times a week." Zhang Liangying said that since the trial operation on April 3, the youth settlement has jointly organized eight thematic activities, including public welfare sharing meetings, lectures, film screenings, and eco-cultural tourism salons, attracting nearly 200 participants.
