[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University held a career counseling and cultural experience event on the 22nd at the Busan Traditional Culture Experience Center, where students with disabilities and non-disabled students participated together.

Due to the difficulty of holding large face-to-face events amid COVID-19, the number of participants was reduced while enhancing the quality of the event.

The university's Disability Student Support Center organized traditional games and Hanbok experience activities for six students with disabilities, six non-disabled students, and three guardians. They also learned etiquette education together, helping non-disabled students understand disabilities and encouraging mutual cooperation.

Students from the university club ‘Beot’, selected in the 6th Communication Link University Student Volunteer Contest hosted by the Busan Volunteer Center, spent the day interacting with students with disabilities and toured the cultural experience center’s disability facilities to share issues and concerns.

The Career Development Center collaborated with the Disability Student Support Center’s cultural experience program to operate the ‘Dongmyung Baragi’ program, where career counseling professors visit students with disabilities directly for counseling.

Professor Kwak Bi-ju of the Career Development Center said, “Due to COVID-19, it was difficult to have face-to-face counseling opportunities with students with disabilities, so it is very rewarding to communicate with them through this visiting career counseling.”

The Dongmyung Baragi program offers various career consulting services for students with disabilities at Dongmyung University, including ‘visiting career counseling,’ ‘psychological testing support for students with disabilities related to career,’ and ‘1:1 in-depth career counseling with professors.’
