Awareness-raising activities through interaction between people with disabilities and people without disabilities

The Disability Discrimination Law stipulates that the national and local governments conduct educational activities for the purpose of deepening the public's interest and understanding of the elimination of discrimination based on disability. In Yokohama City, we will continue to carry out educational activities for citizens.
This "enlightenment activity through interaction between people with disabilities and people without disabilities" is a central initiative of enlightenment activities for citizens. Through the creation of a place, we carry out business for the purpose of deepening understanding of disabilities and expanding the circle of people who can give appropriate consideration to people with disabilities among citizens.

[Reference] Proposal (excerpt) of Yokohama-shi person with a disability discrimination cancellation examination sectional meeting "approach 5 thing about enlightenment to citizen"
In enlightenment activity to citizen, it is important first to have you know the present situation first. We reorganize the cases sent by Yokohama City in the "Recruitment of Cases on Disability Discrimination" conducted from January to February this year, and create leaflets (enlightenment materials) for citizens based on the excerpted cases Please make a plan, such as holding lectures and symposiums, and make continuous progress. At the same time, it is also effective to provide opportunities for people with disabilities and people without disabilities to interact in a casual atmosphere, and to broaden their understanding of disabilities. Please also consider the implementation of such a city-specific approach.
