A Seoul tourism program, called "Own Your Way Mingling Tour," recently brought together 20 individuals, including those with disabilities, older adults, and families with young children, to explore various aspects of traditional culture, public art, and accessible travel. The event took place at Namsangol Hanok Village and the Seoul Namsan Gugak Center, as part of a city-wide initiative promoting inclusivity in Seoul.
The tour included a game involving the search for hidden coins, a universal tourism quiz, a guided tour of Namsangol Hanok Village, and a talk show discussing accessible travel. This program is connected to "The Find Seoul," a public art project by British artist Ryan Gander. The exhibit invites people to discover specially designed coins hidden throughout the city.
The Find Seoul will run from August 31 through September 10, with a total of 16,000 coins hidden across Seoul. During the tour, participants explored Namsangol Hanok Village from a different perspective by searching for these hidden coins. In addition, the tourism organization provided a wheelchair-accessible Seoul Danurim Tourism minivan to ensure all participants could fully enjoy the experience.
