Learn about how Samsung’s Corporate Social Responsibility programmes are supporting the education of young people across the world

LONDON, UK – 9 November, 2021 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd is involved in a number of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives across the globe that aim to support young people by giving them access to the resources, confidence and opportunity needed to shape a better future for themselves and their communities.

 

Under the CSR vision “Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People”, Samsung operates a range of educational programs around the world to create more inclusive, quality learning experiences for young people from all walks of life and to empower future generations to achieve their full potential.

 

A primary way that Samsung does this is through its global Solve for Tomorrow programme; an educational programme for young people to develop ideas for a better society, and cultivate important life skills.

 

Since its inception in the US in 2010, Solve for Tomorrow has expanded to 22 countries worldwide including Vietnam, Korea, Sweden, Poland and the UK.

 

In the UK, the programme is aimed at 16 – 25 year olds and is centred around the topics of Education, Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, Sustainability and Social Isolation. In 2021, various opportunities have run across the year including Future Talks, where young people can hear from a panel of experts on the chosen topics, On Demand accredited online courses and the competition that young people can enter and develop their own tech for good ideas.

 

In 2021, Solve for Tomorrow: Next Generation was also launched to include 13 – 15 year olds and share information on the design thinking process and creative careers in the tech industry.

Last year’s competition winner, Alec Conway, created and developed ‘Project Dignity’. His project addresses the social isolation faced by the homeless community by providing rough sleepers with a locker and a built in PO Box. It also gives vital information on maps, accommodation and details on food accessibility through a digital screen that’s built into the locker. He received a prize of £10,000 and six months further mentoring to continue to develop his idea with Digital Catapult, and is exploring partnerships to develop a functioning prototype. Speaking about his development, Alec said:

“I can’t wait to take Project Dignity on to the next level. In the next few months, hopefully, we’ll see the first set of lockers being installed. I’d like them to be in London because that’s where the issue is most prevalent in the UK”.

 

Alec joins multiple other winners of the competition in other countries such Le Hang, Tuong Vy and Tuyet Nhi; winners of the competition in Vietnam. They saw that farmers were often exposed to dangerous conditions to eliminate pests from their crops, and so developed equipment that could safely trap pests in organic vegetable fields, using solar energy.

 

The 2021/22 Solve for Tomorrow Competition will be launching for the second year in November. Pre-register and find out more here.
