Gwangyang Steelworks MZ Generation Employees Share 'Love Sharing' with Children

2022 Global Model Citizen Week: MZ Generation-Led Joint Volunteer Service

Sharing Talents Based on Young Employees' Interests and Hobbies... Supporting Healthy Growth of Local Children

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks (Director Lee Jinsu) announced that MZ generation employees carried out talent donation volunteer activities for local children on the 18th at Jungma 23rd General Square behind Sarang Hospital in Gwangyang City.

This 'Love Sharing Day' event was organized by Gwangyang Steelworks in celebration of the 2022 Global Model Citizen Week, with the hope that children, the future generation, will grow up happily and healthily. It is the third MZ generation-centered joint volunteer event following those held in April and May.

Gwangyang Steelworks designed the event with volunteer activities reflecting talents, interests, and hobbies instead of simple volunteering to satisfy the diverse needs of young employees and allow them to feel a sense of fulfillment through sharing.

On this day, MZ generation employees of Gwangyang Steelworks experienced various talent-sharing activities and communicated with local residents through booths set up by 12 talent volunteer groups, including ▲traffic volunteer group’s safe traffic guidance ▲photography ▲nail art ▲balloon art ▲calligraphy ▲knitting ▲coding ▲puffed rice sharing ▲flower arrangement ▲woodcraft ▲traditional games ▲emergency rescue.

Additionally, the Gwangyang City Hall’s own volunteer group prepared fun volunteer activities such as making pot holders from sock yarn, creating natural aroma perfumes, and making keyrings, enriching the 'Love Sharing Day' event.

An employee who participated in the volunteer work said, “It was my first time joining a joint volunteer activity during the Global Model Citizen Week, and it was more fun than I expected,” adding, “Until now, I had only done relatively simple volunteer work, so I felt a bit regretful, but today, teaching children coding toys seemed to leave good memories, which makes me proud.”

Meanwhile, since 2017, Gwangyang Steelworks employees have been directly producing customized school supply 'Hope Kits' composed of essential items for studying, hoping that local children will grow up to be future leaders. So far, these kits have been delivered to over 5,200 children in Gwangyang City. The company is actively striving to realize a 'company with the local community' that presents a model where businesses and society develop together in coexistence and mutual growth with the local community.
