Club Publishing 5 Fairy Tale Books... Silla University Department of Social Welfare 'Donggeurami' Addresses Disability Awareness Improvement

A university club student and professor published a fairy tale book addressing the perception of ‘disability’.

Shilla University (President Heo Nam-sik) announced on the 8th that the social welfare major club ‘Donggeurami’ published five fairy tale books to improve awareness of disabilities.

The ‘Donggeurami’ disability welfare club of Shilla University’s Department of Social Welfare published fairy tale books aimed at fostering understanding and proper awareness of disabilities from childhood, to improve issues related to social participation and perception of people with disabilities.

The students themselves planned and designed the content of the fairy tale books and handled the publication process from the initial stages with a disability perspective, including receiving investments through crowd funding.

The five newly published fairy tale books were distributed to the Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association, Busan Disabled Rehabilitation Association, and Busan Welfare Center for the Visually Impaired, and are being sent to sponsors.

Seo Ye-eun, president of ‘Donggeurami’, said, “We promoted this project because using fairy tale books to attract interest in the perception of ‘disability’ is effective,” adding, “We hope that by providing these fairy tale books to children at the stage when cognitive and understanding abilities are most developed, a society where people with and without disabilities live together harmoniously will be created.”

The Department of Social Welfare at Shilla University supports student participation to foster social awareness and operates specialized club programs that encourage active involvement in local community issues.
