Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the operational direction of the Lifelong Learning City for people with disabilities by analyzing the operational status of the Lifelong Education Program for people with disabilities, which was operated through the Lifelong Learning City for people with disabilities project for three years from 2020 to 2022. To this purpose, a total of 167 programs were classified according to four criteria presented in the case report. This was reclassified into six areas of lifelong education programs for people with disabilities. The results were as follows as. First, the “social integration” program was initially dominated, and some “self-reliance and employment-linked programs” were operated. The “regional specialization program” that meets the purpose of the project for the region-centered lifelong learning city for people with disabilities did not appear in the beginning, but it was found that it gradually increased afterwards. Second, the operation status of programs in six areas were mostly focused on culture and arts education and humanities education for all three years. In conclusion, the lifelong learning city project for people with disabilities, which was launched to resolve blind spots in education for people with disabilities, was encouraging. On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the existing cultural arts education and humanities liberal arts education.
