About enlightenment activity through interchange between person with a disability and person without a disability

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

[Reference] Proposal (excerpt) of Yokohama City Disability Discrimination Elimination Study Group "Approach 5 Enlightenment to Citizens"
In enlightenment activity to citizen, it is important first to have you know the current situation first. We reorganize example sent in "recruitment of case about discrimination of person with a disability" that Yokohama-shi carried out from January to February this year and made leaflet (enlightenment document) for citizen based on excerpted example Please make a plan and hold a lecture or symposium, etc. At the same time, it is considered 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 are also effective. Please consider the implementation of such a city-specific approach in addition.
