Business Overview

To train audio guide producers as a part of support for people who are blind or have difficulty seeing. First of all, as an introduction, they watch a play together with the visually impaired and listen to their voices, such as what they could not understand and what kind of information they need. Then, they actually practice from writing a manuscript of an audio guide for the visually impaired to actually reading it out loud. In the final episode, the audience will watch a play accompanied by an audio guide and exchange opinions with the visually impaired. It is characterized by learning while having time to interact with people with disabilities.
