■Tokyo,
Elementary School Teacher (Goalball Experience Session)After the lesson, the children researched the Paralympic events that interested them and gave experience-based presentations.
They were able to apply what they learned in class, communicate with each other, and create something great.

■Kanagawa,
3rd Grade Elementary School Student (Wheelchair Racer Athlete Experience Session)It was my first time riding a racing wheelchair. It was really hard to move, but I had a lot of fun. I thought it was amazing that athletes could do 100 push-ups. I’ll work hard to be able to do a lot of push-ups, too.
