LG Electronics Expands Home Appliance Education for Children and Adolescents... Including Non-Disabled Children Participation

Play-Based Experiential Education Underway
Season 2 Preview Coming This November

LG Electronics announced on the 22nd that it is operating the 'Home Appliance School One-Day Class' nationwide to teach children and adolescents how to use home appliances safely.

Started in August, this program will be held a total of 16 times until the end of this month at special classes in elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide, as well as at LG Electronics Best Shops.

This program is an experiential education that helps participants easily learn the electrical and mechanical principles of home appliances through play and use them safely. It is part of the 'Home Appliance School Project' launched last year and was prepared in connection with the 'Easy Reading Book' developed by LG Electronics for children with developmental disabilities and slow learners. The Easy Reading Book is a booklet that explains how to use home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and vacuum cleaners in an easy-to-understand way with illustrations.

This education was made more meaningful as non-disabled children could also participate through individual applications. Through this program, LG Electronics helped children increase their interest in home appliances and learn safe usage by engaging in activities such as making cupcakes with a microwave and drawing pictures of future home appliances.

Encouraged by the positive response from participants, LG Electronics will additionally conduct 'Home Appliance School One-Day Class' Season 2 in November. In Season 2, the number of sessions will be increased to more than 30, and opportunities will be provided to directly touch and experience products at the Kids Zone in LG Electronics Best Shops nationwide. Customers who wish to participate in Season 2 can apply online through the Best Shop website starting next month.

Since last year, LG Electronics has been steadily publishing the 'Easy Reading Book' for children with developmental disabilities and slow learners. As of last month, the cumulative number of copies published has exceeded 20,000. The books were provided free of charge upon application through the LG Electronics Customer Center and Best Shop website. Official book publication and e-book release are also planned within this year.

Lee Hyang-eun, Executive Director of LG Electronics H&A CX, said, "This year, we expanded the education target not only to slow learners and children with developmental disabilities but also to non-disabled children. We will continue to strive to enable more children to experience LG Electronics home appliances easily and enjoyably."
