WORK・EAT・LAUGH

LIVES project MISSION

LIVES has a vision of a perfect inclusive society.

Working every day, eating every day, and laughing every day, should be a part of our daily lives. However, there are those who cannot do what we could consider as our daily activities.
Japan continues to be a difficult environment for those with disabilities to join the workforce and be a part of the community.
How difficult it is for people with mental, intellectual and physical challenges to live like others in our current society!
LIVES has a vision of a perfect inclusive society- a place where everyone's personality is valued and every individual is able to work, eat, and laugh together, regardless of their physical and mental capability.

FACT：2019

The fact of Lives Project — Roughly 1 in 9 People in Japan Have
a Disability, Disease, or Disorder
* Note: There is some overlap between the number of people who possess disability passbooks and those who possess passbooks for intractable diseases.
Accordingly, the total number of 17.5 million people has been multiplied by 0.8% to become 14 million people.

小泉杏実Ami KoizumiI want to create a world that allows us to show empathy and respect each other.
重光喬之Takayuki ShigemitsuBy working with everyone through the LIVES project, I will design a world in which anyone can find their own place regardless of their disabilities or intractable diseases. My mission is to raise awareness of the fact that there are millions of people with rare diseases or diseases still under research who fall through the cracks of the welfare system.
白井貴也Takaya ShiraiAt this time, we must value our emotional connections.
田中達之Tatsuyuki TanakaDifferences between people can encourage “competitions” and “codesign” processes in which individuals complement and improve one another. With this vision in mind, I hope to grow though participation in the LIVES project
マーク・ブックマンMark Bookman I hope the LIVES Project connects people with diverse bodies and minds from across the world and brings us one step closer to creating a truly accessible global society.
