Global motion technology company Schaeffler Korea announced on the 13th that it held the 12th inauguration ceremony for the college student volunteer group 'EVERGREEN' at the Schaeffler Korea Yeouido office on the 10th.
The inauguration ceremony on this day included orientation, including welcoming remarks, volunteer group operation and activity plans, volunteer campaign planning, and idea meetings. Evergreen is a college student volunteer group jointly operated by Schaeffler Korea and the domestic NGO ‘(Sa) Hamkkeun Sarangbat’. A total of 351 people applied for the 12th recruitment, and 14 were selected, recording a high competition rate of 25 to 1.
The selected members will carry out various activities such as fire/burn prevention safety campaigns in Mongolia in August. In addition, before the full-scale activities, they will go through two preliminary meetings to ▲raise awareness of the issue through meetings with local Mongolian staff, ▲plan fire prevention education programs, ▲department of roles on site and purchase of supplies, etc., and go through education and preparation processes.
Mongolia is a region called a 'climate disaster hotspot' where various climate disasters such as extreme cold, desertification, and floods occur simultaneously. Through this volunteer activity, Evergreen members will directly see the damage caused by various climate disasters, think about practical measures to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and experience the importance of responding to the climate crisis.
A representative for Schaeffler Korea Evergreen said, “We decided to pursue overseas volunteer activities in order to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and provide college student volunteers with opportunities to cultivate a sense of global citizenship,” adding, “We chose Mongolia as the location for our volunteer activities because we wanted to create meaningful changes for both the volunteer group and the beneficiaries through activities that can contribute to solving real problems in the local community, rather than simply providing one-time support.”
