– How are you ensuring that the upcoming event on December 7th is accessible and welcoming for all attendees, especially those with disabilities?
Guest 1: As a representative from the Yokohama B-Corsairs, what can you tell us about the upcoming event on December 7th for preschool to high school students with disabilities/needing medical care, their siblings, and guardians? What inspired the team to create such an inclusive event?
Guest 2: I am AYA, a non-profit organization that provides support services to people with disabilities. We are honored to be part of the event planning process for this special basketball game. It is our mission to create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in various community activities and events, so this collaboration is particularly meaningful for us. We believe that events like these can bring joy and create lasting memories for everyone involved.
Guest 1: Thank you for sharing. Can you elaborate on the significance of this event for children and young adults with disabilities? What kinds of challenges do they face in attending sporting events typically, and how does this format address those challenges?
Guest 2: Unfortunately, many parents of children with disabilities face difficulties in finding suitable events and activities where their children can fully participate and enjoy themselves due to the lack of accessible infrastructure and supporting facilities. This event aims to remove these barriers and create a safe and inclusive environment for children and young adults with disabilities to watch a live sporting event alongside their families and peers, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Guest 1: Understood. In terms of the event’s logistics, can you explain the transportation and seating arrangements for attendees with disabilities or medical needs? Also, how does the medical support during the event work?
Guest 1: The venue, Yokohama Buntai, is wheelchair accessible with elevators and accessible toilets. There are also flat roads leading up to the station, making it easily accessible for those with mobility challenges. As for seating, there will be general seating available, but there are no specific designated wheelchair sections. In terms of medical support, AYA will have staff present on the day to assist participants if needed.
Guest 2: Yes, the safety and comfort of our guests are our top priorities. We want everyone to feel welcome and supported throughout the
