Hyundai Motor said on October 22 that it held a launch event for its social contribution project, “Hyundai Universal Solution,” at Hyundai Motorstudio Senayan Park in Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 21. Local officials, students and teachers attended the event, and the company has now begun full-scale activities.

Hyundai Universal Solution is a social contribution initiative that uses mobility solutions tailored to local characteristics and social challenges to improve access to essential services in education, healthcare and welfare. Indonesia is currently pursuing the expansion of integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and the development of digital learning environments as key policy priorities.

In line with these efforts, Hyundai Motor is partnering with Save the Children, an international nongovernmental organization (NGO) dedicated to children's rights, to provide educational visits to 13 middle schools in North and East Jakarta, where educational infrastructure is limited. The company has outfitted an electric bus with equipment such as tables and tablet PCs to serve as a mobile learning space and improve local students' access to education. About 1,300 middle school students and 130 teachers are expected to take part in the project.

The visiting lessons are designed in line with Indonesia's national curriculum to help students easily understand electric vehicles, the environment and the principles of energy. They make wide use of educational videos, interactive content based on the Minecraft game, and hands-on learning materials such as card games and puzzles. In addition, Hyundai Motor will provide teachers with an educational module covering lesson delivery and ways to use the content, so schools can continue offering the lessons independently after the project ends.

A Hyundai Motor representative said, “Through ‘Hyundai Universal Solution,’ we aim to provide new learning experiences to students who cannot fully access educational opportunities because of limited infrastructure. We will continue listening to the challenges facing communities around the world and working to help more people access essential social services through tailored mobility solutions.”

Meanwhile, in January 2022, Hyundai Motor announced “Hyundai Continue,” a global Creating Shared Value (CSV) initiative focused on three areas: the environment, mobility and future generations. The company has continued its social contribution activities in South Korea and overseas.
