Efforts to Promote Barrier-Free Access Recognized

The Korea Creative Content Agency announced on the 18th that it won the Social Sector Award at the Korea ESG Innovation Policy Awards held on the 15th at Korea Railroad Corporation in Daejeon. It was recognized for efforts to spread barrier-free initiatives, including ▲support for participation of artists with disabilities and development of barrier-free projects ▲research on improving game accessibility for people with disabilities ▲R&D on cultural technology supporting exhibitions and viewing for people with hearing and visual impairments ▲the country's first OTT broadcast content audio description support ▲sign language simultaneous interpretation support at institutional events. The expansion of barrier-free initiatives into the content industry and application to major projects through the amendment of the Content Industry Promotion Act also played a key role.
