Katano City aims at\u00a0the most\u00a0tolerance city not only to foreign residents but also to\u00a0challenged persons in Japan. It means\u00a0that everyone can enjoy their own lives without physical or mental barriers.<\/p>\n

In Nordic countries, the idea of ‘normalisation’ emerged in the 1960’s. Challenged persons, as well as other persons,\u00a0have a right to\u00a0freely make a choice for increasing their happiness. Many people tend to think challenged persons should be ‘protected’ by laws and social system. However, it does not mean the acceptance of challenged persons into real society. Rather, it means a kind of segregation of them from society. It is more important to create society, where challenged persons can\u00a0independently make a decision by themselves for acting as a member of society. It is the idea of ‘normalisation’.<\/p>\n

Cheers is a\u00a0cafe offering opportunities for challenged persons to manage their way of life by themselves. They work there as a clerk and an assistant. Cheers is a leading workplace of ‘normalisation’ in Katano.<\/p>\n
