"BEYOND FES Marunouchi" (hosted by Tokyo Metropolitan Government), an event by "TEAM BEYOND," of which our company is a member, will be held from Friday, October 12th to Sunday, October 21st in the area around Tokyo Station and Marunouchi Nakadori. During the event, our company will be working with the NPO Universal Event Association to exhibit panels about "Universal Camp TOKYO," which includes parasports. We will also be giving a talk at "BEYOND CONFERECE," a lecture for companies and organizations, as a case study presentation by a company pursuing cutting-edge initiatives.
"TEAM BEYOND" is a project launched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in fiscal 2016 to increase the number of people who support parasports. We support the initiative and purpose of realizing a diverse society in which everyone can live and play an active role, regardless of whether they have a disability or not, or differences in age, gender, or nationality, through parasports, and have become a member of "TEAM BEYOND."
"BEYOND FES Marunouchi" is an event that will hold stage events, parasports experience sessions, and viewing events to allow many people to learn about parasports athletes and sports and to watch and cheer them on at the competition venue. During the event, on Saturday, October 13th and Sunday, October 14th, we will be exhibiting a booth together with the non-profit organization Universal Event Association on Marunouchi Nakadori, introducing "Universal Camp TOKYO," an initiative in which companies and others gather, think, and send a message to society at large under the theme of "understanding diversity and realizing a symbiotic society in the community."
In addition, Junichi Mizumura, producer of our Communication Space Division, will be speaking at the "BEYOND CONFERENCE," a lecture for companies and organizations on Wednesday, October 17th. He will introduce "Universal Camp TOKYO," an event in which our company is a member of the executive committee, as an example of "an effort to promote a symbiotic society, including supporting parasports, through regional collaboration."
This event has been held since 2017 at Shinagawa Season Terrace (MINATO CITY), where our head office is located. The event is a collaboration between the local government and companies based in the Shibaura Konan area, and is part of a community contribution activity in the area. It provides an opportunity for diverse people to gather, interact, and understand each other in the city center under the theme of "Realizing an understanding of diversity and a symbiotic society in the community." The event includes talk shows with invited Paralympians and programs to experience parasports such as boccia and blind soccer.
