During the National Sports Festival for the Disabled, the promotional center of Mokpo Stadium, the main stadium, is running a Dream Paralympic Experience program to improve awareness of disabilities and attracting visitors.
Dream Paralympics is a sports experience program promoted by the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled. It is operated in three experience sports: wheelchair badminton, boccia (event for the severely disabled), and showdown (event for the visually impaired).
During the experience, an instructor who is a retired disabled sports player provides direct guidance, allowing participants to experience disabled sports more effectively.
In addition to the Dream Paralympic Experience Zone, Jeonnam Province is also attracting the participation of numerous visitors by arranging a ‘Disabled Sports Human Rights Festival’ promotional center with themes such as disabled sports human rights, a visual, hearing, and physical disability experience center, and a sports painting exhibition hall.
A visitor living in Suncheon who visited Mokpo Stadium last holiday and experienced the Dream Paralympic Games said, “Through this Dream Paralympic Experience Program, I have come to understand and sympathize more with the difficulties that disabled people face in their daily lives through first-hand experience.” “I hope there will be more opportunities to participate in good programs,” he said.
Kang In-joong, head of the Jeonnam Provincial National Sports Planning Director, said, “We hope that through the Dream Paralympic Experience Program and the operation of a promotional center to improve awareness of the disabled during this Paralympic Games, it will be an opportunity for many visitors to directly experience sports for the disabled and to positively change the perception of the disabled.” “We ask for your participation and interest,” he said.
The Dream Paralympic Experience Program runs until the 7th, and operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
