This program focused on allowing children to directly see and experience energy. As a provider of district energy services that produce both heat and electricity, the corporation designed the program to help elementary school students within the heat supply area better understand energy.

The impact of the program was evident in the survey results. When asked whether they considered the corporation’s business to be environmentally friendly and necessary, 174 out of 231 respondents (75.3%) answered negatively before the program. However, after the program, 212 students (91.8%) responded positively, while only 2 students (0.9%) gave negative responses.

The program was carried out in the form of educational donations in cooperation with Seoul Energy Corporation, Gangseo Career and Job Experience Support Center, Hyosung Heavy Industries, and Gangseo Yangcheon Environmental Movement Association. Public agencies, educational institutions, private companies, and civic groups connected their expertise and resources for the initiative.

An official from the corporation stated, “It is a highly meaningful outcome that children’s awareness of energy significantly changed after just one experiential session. Through this program, we confirmed that experience-based education can bring about a transformation in the perceptions of future generations.”
