[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced that the '2020 Seodaemun-gu Disabled One Family Festival' will be held online at 1 PM on the 27th.

This event, aimed at improving social awareness of people with disabilities, is hosted by the Disability Welfare Division of the Seodaemun-gu Community Security Working Council and organized by the Seodaemun-gu Municipal Welfare Center for the Deaf.

Originally scheduled to be held in April this year to commemorate the 40th Disabled Persons Day, it was postponed due to social distancing measures and will now be conducted by uploading a pre-produced video on YouTube (search for 'Seodaemun-gu Disabled One Family Festival').

First, the commemorative ceremony and the Sudasalon can be viewed from 1 PM to 3 PM on the 27th.

The commemorative ceremony will be held under the catchphrase "Circle, Smiling Because You Walk Together," and viewers can also watch the award ceremony for meritorious persons in disability welfare.

The Sudasalon will be conducted by the host introducing interesting stories pre-submitted by disability organizations, welfare center users, and workers.

Optional activities will be held from the 27th of this month to the 6th of next month. Participants can practice cooking, making natural soap, and creating knot craft wall hangings by watching videos with educational materials distributed in advance.

By participating in events such as submitting stories for the Sudasalon and certifying participation in optional activities, mobile gift exchange coupons will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents wishing to participate can send certification photos via KakaoTalk open chat of the Seodaemun-gu Municipal Welfare Center for the Deaf, text message, or email.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, "I hope that this One Family Festival, held with interesting programs amid social distancing, will become a place where people with and without disabilities harmonize and promote the participation of people with disabilities in the local community."
