Barrier-Free eSports Experience Event

In order to popularize barrier-free eSports where anyone can participate regardless of age, gender, time, place, or presence of disabilities, and to create an environment where everyone can take pride in their individuality and shine through eSports, we held a barrier-free eSports experience event at Tochigi eSports Festa, etc.

Barrier-Free eSports School

The barrier-free eSports school is a next-generation business training program where individuals with diverse disabilities serve as instructors, creating a place for interaction through gaming. It provides a space to learn resilience by feeling diversity through enthusiastic minds and laughing together. Utilizing the partnership born from ePARA × Saudi Vision 2030, we invited participants from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Sports Promotion Headquarters and the Japan Cooperation Center for the Middle East to hold the barrier-free eSports school.
