LIVES*University Project First Webinar
Guest Speaker : Uyanga Erdenebold
Topic : Barriers We Face Everyday
Did you know?
Shocking Facts about Japanese Higher Education:
(1) The ratio of students with disabilities who advance to Japanese higher education, including universities is 0.2% (US : 11%)
(2) The ratio of students with disabilities among all students in higher education is 1.2%
LIVES＊University Project aims to achieve an
“Inclusive Environment in Higher Education" throughout Japan.
*We start by providing opportunities to establish connections and have discussions,
not only among disabled/non-disabled students,
but people with all different types of personalities, with or without barriers of their own.
*With better communication, we can encourage students to support each other,
and the community to enhance their college experience.

LIVES Project Mission
To create an inclusive society where the individuality of each person shines
and everyone is empowered to WORK, EAT and LAUGH together.
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!
