On the last day, Posco Chairman Kwon Oh-joon visited the historical landmark lecture hall in Sungkyunkwan University, designated as cultural asset number 143, to join the repair works on old doors and windows with local and visiting employees, the company said.
“I am very proud to introduce and help preserve South Korea’s cultural asset that is more than 600 years old with workers from overseas branches,” said Kwon.
Employees working overseas, including Indonesia, Thailand and China joined.
Workers in Poland, in particular, carried out cultural activities with disabled children, while workers in China visited welfare centers for the elderly.
