[Pangyo Tech] POSCO ICT to host Youtube content to raise awareness on people with disabilities

Deok-gyun Jeong CEO of POSCO ICT said on the 25th that it hosted a Youtube content contest with people who have disabilities and teenagers who would like to become professional YouTube content creators one day as participants.

The contest which was hosted for the third time this year by POSCO ICT and the Seongnam Community Rehabilitation Center, received a total of 221 applications from August. The theme of the contest was raising awareness of issues that people with disabilities face.

There were one Minister of Health and Welfare Award, two POSCO ICT Awards, two Korea Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities awards, four participation awards and ten challenge awards under the categories of people with disabilities and teenagers.

The Minister of Health and Welfare award for people with disabilities was awarded to Soo-bin Go who made a film introducing the daily life of people with disabilities in order to combat the stereotype that people with disabilities are limited and always in need of able-bodied people’s help.
