Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, is delivering a greeting at the launch ceremony of the 'Student Environmental Education Group' held on the 8th at Dankook University Jukjeon Campus.

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province has partnered with Dankook University and SK C&C to launch a 'Student Environmental Education Group.'

On the 8th, Yongin City announced that it held the launch ceremony for the Student Environmental Education Group at the Humanities Hall Small Theater on Dankook University's Jukjeon Campus, deciding to promote environmental education through industry-academia-research collaboration with Dankook University and SK C&C.

According to the agreement among the three institutions, they will maintain a close cooperative relationship to solve local environmental issues through industry-academia-research collaboration, including ▲ operating a living lab program to nurture talent in the field of environmental education ▲ jointly participating in research and development projects in environmental education ▲ and exchanging human and material resources.

The launch ceremony was attended by Kim Subok, President of Dankook University; Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin; Kim Seonghan, Vice President of SK C&C; and about 50 students from the Environmental Education Group.

The Student Environmental Education Group will utilize environmental education programs prepared by the Integrated Science Education Research Institute of Dankook University to provide environmental education to approximately 1,500 youths from five schools located in Yongin City, establishing a virtuous cycle system that enables practicing environmental actions in daily life.

Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, said, "I have reduced the number of bulbs in my room at the city hall by half and only turn on half of the lights in the corridors. I believe that through such small efforts and by joining forces together, we can respond to climate change and achieve carbon neutrality." He added, "I am grateful to hear that the Student Environmental Education Group even donates lunchboxes to children in need through their environmental practice activities."
