Accordingly, the district will implement a total of 21 projects, including digital specialization (such as "Challenge! I am also a creator" and two other projects), disability type-specific programs (such as "Korean Sign Language Deaf Instructor Advanced Course II" and two other projects), and culture and arts (such as "Theater Playground" and three other projects).

To ensure smooth project operations, the district held a network meeting for stakeholders in lifelong education for the disabled the previous day. During the meeting, participants discussed project management with the goal of promoting the three major rights of people with disabilities: the right to learn and know, the right to work, and the right to mobility.

Park Byungkyu, the head of the district, said, "We will continue to build networks and gather diverse opinions through cooperation with lifelong education institutions."
