The Second Programme for International Sports Volunteer was Held

 

On 4-5 August, “The 2nd Programme for International Sports Volunteer” was held at Bunkyo School Building, Tokyo Campus and Junior High / Senior High School at Otsuka, University of Tsukuba, jointly with Bunkyo city. 62 people joined the programme, including the university students of University of Tsukuba, high school students of laboratory schools of University of Tsukuba, and general citizens.

 

On the first day, lectures were given on the history of the Olympics and Paralympic Games, the outline of the Tokyo 2020 Games and attitude required to their volunteers, volunteer experiences stories, and hospitality and manner as a host country.

 

On the second day, participants operated both daily use wheelchairs and wheelchairs for sports, and learned how to support them. Furthermore, people experienced para-sports such as sitting volleyball, blind football, and boccia. We invited two athletes, Mr. Tomoyuki Iwata and Ms. Yoko Karin Zetterlund to talk about the things they got through sports, such as friendship, global awareness, and courage to challenge. Mr. Tomoyuki Iwata was active as captain of Japan national team of low vision futsal for visual impairment, and Ms. Yoko Karin Zetterlund won a bronze medal as a member of USA volleyball team in Barcelona 1992 Games.

 

We would like to share some of the comments from participants shown below;

  • It was meaningful to deepen understanding and understanding of the Olympics and the Paralympic Games from various perspectives.
  • I began to think more strongly about engaging in future sports competitions as a volunteer.
  • I thought that having a heart of hospitality is important in work.
  • I am more and more interested in Paralympic Games and Sports for the Disabled by experiencing Para Sports.
