Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics 1 year to go event! LaLaport to be transformed into "Miruport"!?
With only one year to go until the tournament, on Friday, November 1th and Saturday, November 2024th, 11, we will be holding a two-day event to "see, learn, and experience the deaf world" at Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu.
At the ceremony, which featured support ambassadors Neru Nagahama, Ikumi Kawamata, Nobuharu Asahara, KIKI, and deaf athletes, the medal designs selected by a vote of elementary, junior high, and high school students were announced!
There will be a collaborative stage with the hugely popular video creators Fishers and the Japan Women's Deaf Volleyball Team, as well as a dance to "Shuwashuwa☆Deaflympics!" by the cheering squad led by the official mascot, Yuriito.
There will be plenty of events for children to enjoy, including experiences with digital technology that connects "anytime, anywhere, with anyone," a drawing workshop with Hidehiko Kado, a leading figure in "sign language art," and a stamp rally!
Anyone can join in for free, so please feel free to come along!
