Dongseo University has recently been selected for the “2019 Community Win-Win Cooperation Support Project” to promote various barrier-free zone programs.

The Community Win-Win Cooperation Support Project is a pilot project by the city of Busan with the aim of utilizing the human and physical resources Busan universities have to offer in order to encourage and advance cooperation and innovation in the local community.

Upon being selected for the project, DSU shared Busan City funding of 70 million won with the Busan Community Media Center, the Busan Differently Abled Federation, and Access ICT from June to December, which will be purposed towards producing a barrier-free musical production and performance, as well as the production of content for barrier-free radio broadcasting and music introduction.

As a result of these efforts and developments, the Differently Abled Media Festival is set to be held from 10 to 12 October, in a speciallydesignated barrier-free zone of Centum City.

Lim Hyeok, Director of the DSU Regional Cooperation Center, as well as head of the Community Win-Win Cooperation Support Project, said, “We have prepared various educational programs and events in the barrier-free sector, which is very much the blue ocean of the film and video cultural contents industry. We will make every effort to further develop it.”

Dongseo University was one of nine Busan universities selected for Community Win-Win Cooperation Support Project. The selection was announced at a conference at Busan City Hall on July 11.
