World Vision (President: Cho Myunghwan), together with Hanwha Life (CEO: Yeo Seungjoo), held Korea's first Family Care Youth Festival, "Oasis Day," on November 8 at Layer41 in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by 120 young family caregivers and representatives from related organizations, who experienced and shared a variety of cultural content. To provide opportunities for sharing diverse caregiving experiences, the festival featured a "Talk Session" where young family caregivers shared their own life stories, arts and hands-on creative booths such as "Moving for Tomorrow - Dahyun Express Co., Ltd.," "Tufting Zone," "Pottery Experience Zone," and "Stress Care Zone," a flash mob with influencer dancer "Punch Bunny," and a performance by musician Wonstein. Since 2023, Hanwha Life has consistently supported World Vision's projects for young family caregivers. Starting this year, the company is providing annual project funding and taking the lead in raising public awareness about youth caregiving.
