POSCO INTERNATIONAL Offered INTER-RAIL,

a Train Journey for Children from Communal Living Residences

- The children journeyed through Jeonju and Seocheon on the E-TRAIN, a train dedicated to education, immersing themselves in the traditional Korean culture

- The company spent quality time with more than 100 children over the span of three trips

POSCO INTERNATIONAL (Vice Chairman Jeong Tak) orchestrates 'INTER-RAIL,' a domestic train travel program for children and teenagers from 18 Communal Living Residences in Incheon.

'INTER-RAIL' is a social contribution program initiated by POSCO INTERNATIONAL and the Incheon Regional Headquarters of ChildFund Korea for the first time this year. It is created for children from communal living residences who have not been able to partake in outdoor field trips due to COVID-19.

The 'INTER-RAIL' program integrates travel, culture, and education together. It comprises field activities for children to acquire knowledge about traditional culture and the environment by touring the Jeonju Hanok Village and the National Institute of Ecology in Seocheon on the E-TRAIN, a train equipped with facilities for educational experiences and games.

This year, the INTER-RAIL program will be held on three separate occasions, specifically on November 13, 14, and 27, inviting approximately 100 children from the Communal Living Residences. Roughly 20 employees of POSCO INTERNATIONAL will also partake in the program, assisting the children with field activities and creating lasting memories of the train journey.

This is not the first time the company has aided children from the Communal Living Residences. Last year, the company provided children with a nutritious diet by regularly delivering fresh produce through the 'Healthy Meal Box Project for Children in Communal Living Residences.' Additionally, the company organized cooking classes using seasonal ingredients to help teenagers become more self-sufficient.

Furthermore, the company has been running support projects for children and teenagers in Incheon for healthy future since 2015. Some of the notable projects include Korean language education and support activities for immigrant adolescents, and English, economic, and ESG education for children at Community Child Centers.

"Thanks to the support of POSCO INTERNATIONAL, these children, who have not been able to participate in outdoor activities for three years, were able to create cherished memories," expressed a social worker in charge of the Communal Living Residences who participated in the INTER-RAIL program. One of the staff members from POSCO INTERNATIONAL who took part in the program shared, "Despite my concerns, the children approached me with ease, making the experience very pleasant and a grateful opportunity to find inner peace."

In the meantime, POSCO INTERNATIONAL announced its social contribution vision, InterACT Together, in May to align with the establishment of the integrated corporation, and has been engaging with local communities in four strategic directions: △Eco-Friendliness, △Global, △Future Generation, and △Staff Participation.
