SK Happiness Foundation Marks 20th Anniversary Conference on the Reality of Practical Social Contribution
Status of the 20th anniversary conference
On May 28, SK Happiness Foundation held a conference to mark its 20th anniversary, titled "The Reality of Practical Social Contribution: A Record of the Process of Finding Real Problems and Solutions." More than 150 people attended, including corporate social contribution managers and workers in the social sector.
Conference format and structure
The conference focused on the process rather than the results. Instead of listing completed achievements, the foundation opened up the full journey of how it defined and refined problems. The event was divided into morning and afternoon sessions, with the development process and outcomes of four foundation projects presented in sequence.
Presentations on Godjang Donation and SK Newschool
Godjang Donation presented the challenges it faced while making the donation delivery process fully transparent and achieving 100% transfer of funds. SK Newschool introduced its philosophy and journey of teaching hands-on skills, a proper work ethic, and a professional attitude to help young people from vulnerable backgrounds become self-reliant.
Cases from Sesang File and the SUNNY project
Sesang File explained, through project cases, the trial and error involved in identifying the essential problems hidden in the field and creating sustainable solutions. SUNNY Multinational NPO Startup shared the experiments and insights it has developed while designing experiences that help young people explore social issues directly and better understand themselves in an age of rapidly consumed information.
Chairman's remarks and future plans
Chairman Choi Ki-won said, "The past 20 years have been a time of repeatedly confronting the harsh walls of reality while trying to find social problems that had been pushed out of public attention and create solutions for them." He added, "We will continue our efforts to develop better solutions." Videos of the conference presentations will be available later on the official 20th anniversary conference website and the foundation's official YouTube channel.
