The festival was divided into morning and afternoon sessions. In the morning, an information technology competition took place, where students had the opportunity to demonstrate their digital capabilities through various IT programs such as software coding, smart searching, and video production.

In the afternoon, an e-sports tournament was held, allowing students with special educational needs and general students to form teams and collaborate while playing 'FC Online' and 'Modueui Marble'.

One student with special educational needs who participated in the IT competition said, "I worked hard to prepare for coding, but there were many difficult parts.

Shin Woonshik, head of the Special Education Support Center, stated, "This e-festival was a great help in developing the digital skills of students with special educational needs. Through the e-sports tournament with general students, we had an opportunity to understand each other. We will continue to make efforts so that students with disabilities can access digital technologies and grow through various educational activities."

This event served as an important platform for interaction between students with and without disabilities in the Gumi area, helping to improve awareness of disabilities and laying a crucial foundation for the activation of digital education for students with disabilities.
