[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The 'Incheon Free Economic Zone Happy Study Room' project, which supports home study rooms in the old downtown area for companies located within the Incheon Free Economic Zone, is starting a new season.

On the 19th, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority announced that it signed a business agreement for 'Happy Study Room Season 3' with the Incheon Global Campus (IGC) Foundation, Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, and six companies located in the Incheon Free Economic Zone.

The participating companies are Janssen Vaccine, i-SENS, Innotron, Cammsys, Korea Mitsubishi Elevator, and POSCO A&C.

The participating companies will support improving study room environments for 10 low-income households in the region by replacing wallpaper and flooring, and providing study tools such as desks and bookshelves.

The Happy Study Room project began in October 2017 as part of a community contribution initiative to share the development achievements of the Incheon Free Economic Zone with the old downtown area. It is conducted annually with sponsorship funds from participating companies, and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation oversees the entire project.

Starting from this Season 3, the IGC Foundation will also participate, operating a learning mentoring program for the supported children and youth through volunteer activities by IGC university students.

Accordingly, the IGC Foundation will recruit and select university student volunteers to participate in the program, and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation will connect them with the children. The university students will provide one-on-one or group mentoring in foreign languages and information technology (IT), among other subjects.

Lee Wonjae, head of the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority, stated, "We will continue to promote the Happy Study Room project, which gives students dreams and hope, so that the Incheon Free Economic Zone and the old downtown area can harmonize and share development achievements."
