The Seoul Forest Sports Association (sponsored by Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council for the Disabled, and Weepiq) is the only 'Woeulim' sports event in the school sports field. 'Soullim' is a combination of 'Seoul' and 'Ollim', 'Ollim', 'Ollim' and 'Ollim', which means that disabled and non-disabled students break down barriers in their minds by harmonizing like a forest through physical activities. 'Soullim' is a 'integrated' sports event launched in 2022 by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Sports Chosun aimed at the happy physical activity of all students in Korea, and is the only 'Oulim' competition in the school sports field. It is not a one-time, one-off event where you gather for a day and have a sports day. It is a competition where teamwork is strengthened through more than 10 official sports training sessions after forming the 'Seoulim Integrated Sports Club' on campus, and then the school's representative at the Seoul Forest Sports Festival to compete for skills and share friendships. Each team consists of 6 to 15 students with disabilities and non-disabilities, and must include at least two students with disabilities.
The number of participating students is increasing every year thanks to the enthusiasm of teachers, parents, and principals who naturally learn diversity and mingling through physical activities together and give them special educational opportunities beyond discrimination and prejudice.
