The Korea Energy Information Culture Foundation announced on the 27th that it had held the “Climate Energy Youth Classroom” in cooperation with the Doksan 3·4-dong Residents’ Association in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.

The foundation and the residents’ association selected 40 students living in Doksan 3·4-dong, ranging from 6th-grade elementary school students to 1st-grade high school students, through an open application process from the 1st to the 15th of this month. This is the first year the program has been operated, and it will be held a total of three times. The program plans to enhance students’ career awareness and understanding of the future energy industry through tours of Seoul National University’s campus and mentoring sessions with energy majors.

The first session took place on the 24th at Seoul National University. Participating students toured the campus with current Seoul National University mentors and visited the Department of Energy Resources Engineering to learn about career paths in the energy sector. The foundation also provided opportunities for the students to engage with university students majoring in energy, allowing them to discuss college admissions, campus life, and careers in the energy field.

Ju-Soo Lee, President of the foundation, said, “It is essential for future generations to gain diverse experiences that help them understand the energy sector and explore their own career paths.” He added, “Based on the energy education expertise we have accumulated so far, our foundation will continue to develop and expand public-private cooperation education models in partnership with the local community.”
