[Asia Economy Reporter Song Hwajeong] The Mirae Asset Park Hyun-joo Foundation announced on the 27th that the 'Vision Project,' a future generation support program by Mirae Asset Financial Group that was temporarily halted due to COVID-19, will resume this year.

Since 2016, the Mirae Asset Park Hyun-joo Foundation has been running the 'Mirae Asset Youth Vision Project' to help children and adolescents using child welfare facilities develop the strength needed to design their own futures and achieve their goals. Starting with 50 participants in 2016, nearly 1,000 children and adolescents participated by 2019.

Beginning in 2016 with a camp focused on 'Establishing Self-Identity and Enhancing Self-Expression,' the program continued with 'Physical Computing Using Coding' in 2017, 'Financial Education Using Coding and 3D Printing' in 2018, and 'Making Mission Robots Using Power Devices' in 2019. Based on themes suitable for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, the program was highly comprehensive, allowing children to plan, design, produce, and derive results on their own. It emphasized fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking through the process of creating something new. The program was suspended in 2020 due to the sudden spread of COVID-19.

The Vision Project resuming this year will focus on mission projects based on artificial intelligence technology and plans to recruit 350 participants. The target group is elementary school students in grades 4 to 6 who use child welfare facilities, and the program will be conducted online to prevent COVID-19.

A Mirae Asset official said, "We are pleased to resume the Mirae Asset Youth Vision Project, which had high participant satisfaction," adding, "As a financial investment group leading ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), Mirae Asset will strive to be a model of 'practical ESG.'"

Park Hyun-joo, Chairperson of Mirae Asset Group, has donated dividends for 11 consecutive years, with total donations reaching 26.6 billion KRW. The donations are used for scholarship development and social welfare projects by the Mirae Asset Park Hyun-joo Foundation.
