Jeongeup City Health Center announced that it will be operating an experiential education program called 'Samgol Health Farm & Children's Disability Experience Classroom' to promote healthy growth in children and improve awareness of disabilities.

This program targets 7-year-old children attending local kindergartens and daycare centers, aiming to assist in obesity prevention and physical development through play, and to naturally instill values of consideration and inclusivity through disability experiences.

Health education will focus on physical activities such as hurdles, hula hoops, and ring toss, while disability experiences will allow indirect experiences of the lives of people with disabilities in daily routines, using wheelchairs and white canes.

The education program will run from April 17 to November 27 every Thursday morning from 10:00 to 11:30, with the first half of the year taking place at Samgol Health Center and the second half at Jeongeup City Health Center's education room.

A health center official stated, "Through play and experiences, we will help children grow both physically and mentally," and urged for the interest and participation of many organizations.
