December 3rd to 9th every year is Disability Week, a week aimed at deepening understanding and interest in disabilities and increasing the willingness of people with disabilities to participate in society.
Inagi City will be holding the following events to promote understanding of disabilities during Disability Week. This year's theme is "Live as yourself."
Part 1: Film Screening "Living Ordinarily - Aiming for Independence"
Part 2: Taiko drum concert Part 3: Talk event with Paralympic gold medalist Sugiura
Note: Advance registration is required to participate in the "Film Screening" and "Talk Event."
Note: Sign language interpretation will be provided for the moderator and other staff members throughout Parts 1 to 3. The film in Part 1 will have subtitles, and the talk event in Part 3 will have a summary.
The film features a care facility in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture called "Derato," which is a day care center for children and adults with severe physical and mental disabilities that was established from scratch through the efforts of their parents. A documentary film that closely follows the people involved with "Derato" will be screened.
