In addition to the ‘Seoulrim’ contest, the Busan Office of Education plans to widely spread a culture of disability empathy among students and citizens through visiting disability understanding classes, the ‘Seoulrim’ puppet show, and performances.

He added, “We will continue to operate various programs that allow students with and without disabilities to understand each other and walk together.”
