Coway announced Friday that its wheelchair basketball team, Coway Blue Wheels, conducted a wheelchair basketball training session for teachers in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province.

On Wednesday, Coway Blue Wheels participated in the "2026 Inclusive Education Capacity-Building Training" at Samsung Hall of the Icheon Athletes' Village in Gyeonggi Province, providing theoretical and practical wheelchair basketball instruction to 20 special-needs and general education teachers.

The training was organized by the Special Education Support Center of the Gyeonggi Province Icheon Office of Education. It was designed to strengthen teachers' ability to implement inclusive education, in which students with and without disabilities learn together.

Since last year, Coway has hosted the Coway Cup, an integrated sports competition open to students with and without disabilities. The company has also run wheelchair basketball experience classes in partnership with educational institutions as part of its broader efforts to support education through para sports.

"We hope this training helps establish inclusive physical education in schools and creates an environment where students with and without disabilities can participate together," a Coway official said.
