Daegu City will publicly recruit the 7th class of Disability Empathy Supporters from July 17 to July 31. The program aims to foster a human rights community where diversity is respected by promoting proper understanding and empathy toward disabilities.

The Disability Empathy Supporters program is a citizen participation initiative that Daegu City has operated annually since 2019, carrying out creative activities to improve disability awareness.

This year, 50 participants, including university students and general citizens, will be selected to lead citizen-driven disability awareness campaigns and content creation activities.

Any citizen residing in Daegu (including foreigners) or university student in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region (including those on leave of absence) is eligible to apply.

Applicants who have a strong interest and passion for human rights, social contribution, and disability awareness activities, as well as those who are active on social networking services (SNS) and possess skills in online content creation and video editing, will be given priority. The results will be announced on August 8.

The selected supporters will create various types of content, such as videos, card news, and articles, and conduct both online and offline campaigns from August to December, over a five-month period, to foster an inclusive environment where people with and without disabilities live together.

Outstanding supporters will receive a monthly activity stipend, and upon completion of the program, will be issued volunteer activity certificates and proof of participation. At the end of the year, top performers will be recognized and awarded.

Kim Taeun, Director of Health and Welfare at Daegu City, stated, "We will continue our efforts to actively support the activities of the Disability Empathy Supporters and build 'Daegu, a human rights community where everyone is respected.' We ask for the active participation and interest of citizens in the activities of the 7th class of Disability Empathy Supporters."
