Hyundai Steel's Dangjin Steelworks is taking the lead in customized educational social contribution activities for local students.

The main educational social contribution activities for the second half of 2024, "Visiting Empathy Education" and "Talk Concert with Hyundai Steel," organized by Dangjin Steelworks, will conclude on the 7th and 11th, respectively.

The "Visiting Empathy Education" is an initiative promoted as part of the priority support project for educational welfare.

This educational activity, led by Dangjin Steelworks in cooperation with Dangjin Office of Education and Dangjin Welfare Foundation, has been running for three years from 2023 to 2025.

For these activities, Dangjin Steelworks provides 20 million KRW annually, totaling 60 million KRW over three years, to support the necessary resources for education.

Empathy Education is organized around five main topics aimed at creating a safe school environment for local students, including school violence, smoking, and respect for life.

The program is conducted by visiting schools directly and operating hands-on booths where students can participate in various experiences. Students who complete the activities at the booths are provided with refreshments and stationery.

So far, 14 schools and approximately 3,400 students have participated in the Visiting Empathy Education activities.

On the 11th, "Talk Concert with Hyundai Steel" will also conclude its second half session at Seoya High School.

In the Talk Concert, Dangjin Steelworks employees take the stage as lecturers. The lecturers are either master craftsmen recognized for their extensive field experience or research staff with master's or doctoral degrees.

These employees share stories with students about dreams, self-development, and career exploration.

Since 2012, the Talk Concert has been a representative educational social contribution activity involving Hyundai Steel executives and employees, with a total of 515 sessions and more than 5,600 participants to date.

A Hyundai Steel representative stated, "We will continue to develop and provide diverse educational content to foster local talent and address educational disparities in the region," adding, "We will carry out various activities to support the healthy growth of children, who are important assets for the future."
