The Sports Ethics Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism conducted basic sign language education for all employees, including investigators, at the center headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 20th.
This training was part of a business agreement signed by the Sports Ethics Center and the Korea Federation of Deaf Sports in March to lay the foundation for counseling reporting services on human rights violations and irregularities of deaf athletes, and was conducted as basic sign language education to help smooth communication with deaf athletes.
On this day, executives and employees of the Sports Ethics Center participated enthusiastically with Kim Soo-yeon, director of the Korea Federation of Deaf Sports, focusing on sign language that helps to build trust relationships and communicate with deaf athletes during basic greetings, counseling, reporting, and investigation.
Park Ji-young, chairman of the Sports Ethics Center, emphasized, "This sign language education is a valuable first step toward deeper understanding and respect for athletes with deaf children. It is more important than anything else to create a culture of empathy in the field of sports because I think a short sign language leads to deep empathy and trust." "The sports ethics center will be a strong fence to prevent discrimination or alienation of all athletes, including deaf athletes. We will do our best to make a fair sports environment for all athletes with consideration and respect" expressed his will.
