Com2uS WITH, a subsidiary-type standardized workplace for persons with disabilities under Com2uS that operates as an orchestra-affiliated subsidiary, announced on the 16th that it has received a Superintendent’s Letter of Appreciation from the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education in recognition of its contributions to special education activities.

This commendation is awarded to organizations that have helped improve educational environments and enhance welfare for students eligible for special education across Gyeonggi Province. Com2uS WITH was highly praised for its ongoing support activities for special education grounded in culture and the arts.

Com2uS WITH was the first in the Korean game industry to establish a “Wind Orchestra” made up of musicians with disabilities, and it has been pursuing a wide range of initiatives. The Wind Orchestra has visited special education schools and classes throughout Gyeonggi Province to deliver high-quality performances, steadily expanding opportunities for students with disabilities to experience culture and the arts more closely and directly.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education evaluated the Wind Orchestra’s professional performance activities as not only contributing to the emotional stability of students at special education schools, but also effectively conveying educational and social value—namely, improving awareness and perceptions of disability—by demonstrating active social participation by artists with disabilities.

In particular, Com2uS WITH has been receiving strong positive responses from individuals with developmental disabilities as well as teachers and parents as a practicum site for special-education-eligible students in Gyeonggi Province. In an on-site evaluation conducted last year, it earned excellent scores across a broad range of categories, including

▲work environment

▲workplace location

▲job type

▲relationships with colleagues

▲accessibility and convenience facilities for persons with disabilities.

Com2uS WITH is an orchestra-format, subsidiary-type standardized workplace for persons with disabilities jointly established by three companies: Com2uS Holdings (CEO Jeong Cheol-ho), Com2uS (CEO Nam Jae-Kwan), and Com2uS Platform (CEO Choi Seok-won). It provides artists with disabilities with stable employment and professional growth opportunities, and supports the advancement of culture and the arts as well as improved disability awareness through a variety of performance activities.
