Woori Financial Research Institute Partners with Financial Happiness Network to Support Financial Education

"WithWoori Economy Class Project"
Donation of 20 Million Won Delivered
to Support Financial Education for Elementary Students
at Local Children's Centers

On October 21, Woori Financial Research Institute held a donation ceremony for the "WithWoori Economy Class Project" at the Woori Financial Digital Tower. The ceremony was attended by Junghoon Park, Director of Woori Financial Research Institute, Jungwoon Young, Chairman of the Financial Happiness Network Foundation, and other related officials.

Now in its second year, this project is a social contribution initiative that supports financial education for future generations, driven by the voluntary talent donations of Woori Financial Research Institute employees. Woori Financial Research Institute plans to provide systematic education for the financial growth of future generations through the Financial Happiness Network, a nonprofit public interest incorporated association approved by the Financial Services Commission and a specialized organization for financial economic education and financial consumer protection policy.

In particular, the program will focus on elementary school students at local children's centers who are exposed to the digital financial environment but lack awareness and coping skills. Through practical, everyday financial education, the project aims to improve their basic understanding of digital finance, foster rational consumption and saving habits, and provide behavioral education to prevent financial fraud. There will also be active support to strengthen the financial capabilities of youth.

Specifically, the Financial Happiness Network will not limit this project to a one-time lecture, but will conduct it over three sessions, allowing students to learn step by step and measuring their progress through pre- and post-assessments. Chairman Jung stated, "We can verify not only changes in knowledge but also in attitudes and behaviors through data," adding, "This is also a great opportunity for Korean-style financial education to be presented as a global benchmark." He further commented, "The partnership between Woori Financial Research Institute and the Financial Happiness Network will become a 'co-growth model proven by data,' going beyond simple donations."

Junghoon Park, Director of Woori Financial Research Institute, said, "Through this project, we aim to foster the financial capabilities of future generations and will continue to provide support to help realize financial inclusion and a digitally inclusive society."
