This year’s volunteer festival was held under the theme of ‘Volunteer Excellence, Happiness Index Excellence, Gwangyang City,’ and featured experience booths operated by 47 volunteer groups.

At Gwangyang Steelworks, Director Lee Dong-ryeol and 24 talent volunteer groups participated, offering a variety of attractions to citizens visiting the festival. The Forever Wind Orchestra Talent Volunteer Group and the Freedom Acoustic Guitar Talent Volunteer Group performed on the Eoulmadang stage, receiving enthusiastic applause from participants.

Additionally, the Nail Art Talent Volunteer Group, Balloon Art Talent Volunteer Group, Calligraphy Talent Volunteer Group, and Glass Craft Talent Volunteer Group operated unique experience booths, providing various hands-on activities and attractions to citizens visiting the festival.

Emergency first aid training, aimed at creating a safer community, also received great response. The Gwangyang Steelworks Emergency First Aid Training Talent Volunteer Group prepared dummy dolls designed to resemble the human body structure to simulate real situations and taught visitors accurate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The Gwangyang Steelworks Talent Volunteer Groups were recognized for their efforts to spread a warm culture of sharing in the local community and received a plaque of appreciation from Gwangyang City.

Director Lee Dong-ryeol of Gwangyang Steelworks said, “I believe Gwangyang City is a model volunteer-leading city where more than half of the citizens participate in sharing activities,” and added, “We will continue to actively practice the spirit of companionship with neighbors in need so that the culture of sharing can be spread throughout the local community.”
