The "Kyoto Abilympics," an event which enables people with disabilities in Kyoto Prefecture to demonstrate their vocational skills, was recently held at Kyoto prefectural technical college and Kyoto technical college for the disabled in Fushimi Ward.
Approximately 70 participants, ranging from students at special needs schools to working adults, showcased their abilities in 12 different categories, highlighting their dedication and daily practice.
This year marked the 22nd edition of the event, organized by the Kyoto branch of the organization for employment of the elderly and persons with disabilities in collaboration with the prefectural government.
Some disciplines also served as qualifiers for the national championships set to take place in Aichi in October.
In the building cleaning competition, 13 participants demonstrated their cleaning skills, showcasing precision and professionalism. During the vacuuming task, contestants carefully cleaned a mock office space of 16 square meters, maneuvering around desks and chairs with great attention to detail.
Each participant courteously offered a few words upon completion of their task, reflecting their commitment to politeness and professionalism. Judges evaluated the competitors based on their speed and etiquette, creating a tense yet respectful atmosphere in the venue.
