This guide is written in Japanese and is primarily aimed at professionals in the Japanese media so that they can promote a more inclusive image of people with impairment during Tokyo 2020 and beyond. Two U.K. based academics, Prof. Athanasios ‘Sakis’ Pappous from Bournemouth University and Dr. Ian Brittain from Coventry University, have joined forces and, with financial support from the Economic and Social Research Council (U.K) and the Japan Society for the promotion of Science (Japan) have produced this guide as part of the project ‘Building Japanese research capacity around disability studies and sport to positively impact he lives of people with disabilities - 2020 and beyond’. A previous version of this guide, led by Prof. Sakis Pappous has been written and used during the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games and can be consulted here https://kar.kent.ac.uk/64890/ and there is also a Portuguese version of it.
