Gyeongsan City delivered warmth to the local community by consecutively hosting a healing camping event for families of people with disabilities and a community sports festival for households with young children.

As part of the "Lifelong Learning City for People with Disabilities" initiative, Gyeongsan City successfully held the "Empathy-Communication Family Dream Camping" at the Gyeongsan Mogol Camping Site from September 12 to 13, with around 10 families of people with disabilities, comprising over 30 participants.

This camping event was organized to provide families of people with disabilities an opportunity to step away from daily routines, create special memories, and enhance their bonds.

Participating families enjoyed a variety of programs such as making family flags, a Hangung (traditional Korean dart) game, family games, and a treasure hunt, working together and having a joyful time.

Subsequently, on September 12, the "K-Bodeum 6000 Samsamoo Care Community Unity Sports Festival" was held at the multipurpose gymnasium of the Hayang Cultural Center, with over 150 participants including infants, their families, and local residents.

Under the slogan "It takes a whole village to cherish and raise a child," this event was jointly organized by three daycare centers―Siheung Sadong 1 Complex, Siheung Hayang Eco, and Siheung Jungsan Haneulchae Daycare Centers―with support from the Gyeongbuk Institute for Women's Policy Development, bringing together families, daycare centers, and the local community to put the value of collaborative caregiving into practice.

From activities that promote communication among households with people with disabilities to community events where the entire village participates in raising children, Gyeongsan City continues to build a comprehensive and warm community welfare ecosystem through tailored welfare services and on-the-ground communication.
