Business Overview
The "Art Appreciation Workshop with the Visually Impaired" and teachers at Nitobe Bunka Elementary School will work together to plan and develop a lesson program in which students can actively find problems and work toward solutions. The general course flow is as follows. (1) Viewing exhibitions in museums or science museums with the visually impaired. (2) Find issues from their own experiences and create audio media (e.g. audio guides and radio programs). The developed lesson program will be used experimentally in the science communication class of Nitobe Bunka Elementary School. Record the process of program development with pictures, images and text. The method will be compiled into a booklet and released to the public through teacher training seminars and educational societies.

Profile
[Art appreciation workshop with the visually impaired]
Started activities in June 2012. At least once a month, art workshops are held at art galleries, museums and schools for the blind. We will create a place for people from diverse backgrounds to exchange words, regardless of whether they have disabilities. We aim to create a style of art appreciation where anyone can visit the museum with ease and freely discuss their feelings, impressions, experiences and thoughts.
