This workshop originally started at “Runbinii art museum” at  Hanamaki city, Iwate prefecture as “Meeting class project”

This project is that people with disabilities are dispatched as a teacher to the junior high school.

The teacher is an artist and the person with disabilities. However, this project aims to understand the person without any boarder by special skill or disabilities.

“Runbinii ar tmuseum” held this project many times (more than 40 times), and “Output committee” plans to do this at Aomori. This is the first step to them.
