Establishing a new award at IPC Tokyo Para August 21:53
The IPC = International Paralympic Committee will set up a new award to recognize schools that have educated on the theme of the Paralympic Games, in an effort to realize a symbiotic society triggered by the Tokyo Paralympic Games approaching a year later. I decided.
IPC's topics include paralympic rules where athletes with various disabilities compete and experiences of athletes who have overcome difficulties, so that children can think about a symbiotic society where everyone can live regardless of whether or not they have a disability. We make a teaching material called “Im Possible” and distribute it to elementary, middle and high schools and special support schools nationwide.
IPC has decided to award the “Im Possible Award” award, and to recognize domestic and international schools that have achieved results using teaching materials, in order to proceed with the Tokyo Paralympics that are approaching one year later. It was.
This award is also given to athletes who have contributed to the realization of a symbiotic society, so we will recognize the winning school and athletes at the Tokyo Paralympic closing ceremony.
In addition, the JPC = Japan Paralympic Committee will establish “Japan Paralympic Day” on August 25, when the Tokyo Paralympic Games will open, and will continue its efforts from 2021 onwards.
