Korean Design Membership Plus (KDM+), run by DCB, will produce branding and visual materials for Busan citizens to spread the Health Donation Stair Projects and campaigns for children affected by abuse as part of community contribution.

KDM+ is a design membership program that selects potential students from all over the country and fosters them as world-class working-level designers who can be put directly into industrial sites through various practical design education.

The trainees completed the wall design as part of a health donation stair project at Exit 7 of Busan Metro Station. This staircase has a sensor that can recognize the number of users on the stairs, so 10 won is set aside for each stair user. It is a social contribution facility that makes citizens feel the joy of moving cultural needs through works, promoting health, and sharing through donations.

Through a business agreement with ChildFund Korea, the company plans to produce a campaign to support children affected by abuse. Trainees will create branding such as campaign image production and stationery design through professional mentoring and commercialize it after consultation with the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation.

Kim Sung-jin, head of the start-up promotion team, said, "It was a good opportunity to contribute to society and children in need of help," adding, "If there are opportunities for social contribution activities, I will continue to participate and give strength to society."
