"Learning Safety Like Play"
Hands-On Program Utilizing VR
The Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (President Kim Taeyeol) announced on the 26th that it held a 'Family Participation Disaster Safety Experience Event' for the children of its executives and employees on the 23rd to mark Family Month.
This event was organized as part of the agency's family-friendly management practices, aimed at promoting work-life balance and fostering a family-friendly organizational culture.
The event took place at the 'Busan Children's VR Disaster Safety Experience Center' operated by the agency, and featured a customized safety education program for children ranging from preschoolers to lower elementary school students (ages 3 to 9).
Participating children had the opportunity to learn how to respond in real disaster situations, such as fires or earthquakes, in an easy and enjoyable way through activities such as experiencing disaster safety teaching aids and disaster response VR simulations. In particular, executives and employees participated in the experience together with their children as guardians, which not only facilitated family communication but also helped to build a shared understanding of safety awareness.
One participant said, "I wanted my child to experience disaster safety education for the first time in their life, and I am satisfied that they could learn while having fun like playing a game," adding, "It was meaningful to have time together as a family despite our busy daily lives at work."
Kim Taeyeol, President of the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency, stated, "It was a meaningful event where families could experience the value of safety together," and added, "We will continue to expand various welfare systems based on family-friendly management, and as a public institution, we will play a leading role in spreading a culture of work-life balance."
Starting with this program, the agency plans to make family-oriented experience events a regular occurrence and will continue to pursue practical family-friendly policies to improve employee welfare and organizational culture.
