Shinhan Financial Group announced that it held the launch ceremony for the 21st class of the 'Disabled Youth Dream Team' on the morning of July 10 at the Glad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul.

This program, which has been supported in partnership with the Korea Disabled Rehabilitation Association since 2005, provided overseas training opportunities to a total of 1,138 young people as of last year. This year as well, with a sponsorship fund of 500 million won, 51 newly selected participants will receive support.

The 21st class will carry out training programs under the theme "Disabled Youth Dream Team Ventures into Six Continents," with sessions in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. The program is divided into planned training with experts and independent training, where the participants plan their own courses. They will explore global social issues such as the coexistence of sign language and spoken language in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), and fairness in employment for people with disabilities.

Jin Okdong, Chairman of Shinhan Financial Group, who attended the launch ceremony, stated, "Our society has developed thanks to people who challenge new possibilities beyond boundaries. Shinhan Financial Group will support this journey so that the training becomes a meaningful challenge toward a bigger world for all participants."
