"Silver Creative Studio" is a program designed to directly reach out to the Gyeongbuk region, which has been relatively underserved by emotional support programs, to help veterans' families achieve emotional stability, enhance cognitive abilities, and prevent dementia.


The program offers a variety of creative activities each quarter. In the first and second sessions, participants created collaborative artworks themed around patriotism and made pottery. In this third session, participants engaged in horticultural therapy by cultivating a herb garden.


Veterans' families who participated in the event had the opportunity to plant and care for herb plants themselves, experiencing their scents and textures. A veteran named Lee said, "The scent of herbs calms my mind, and I am grateful for this opportunity. I will do my best to nurture them with care," sharing his thoughts.


The Daegu Regional Veterans Office plans to continue promoting various customized programs, including "Silver Creative Studio," to improve the quality of life and emotional well-being of veterans' families.



Director Kim Jongsul stated, "To honor the great sacrifices of our national heroes, we will continue to provide attentive welfare services so that veterans' families can enjoy greater happiness and satisfaction in their daily lives and lead fulfilling retirements."
