Event Overview

The “Stroke Festival” is a culture-festival event aimed at removing the barriers between those with and without disabilities — using “fun” as a shared language for people with the condition, their families and professionals. 
“CareerLand” is a mobile employment-theme park where companies offer work experiences and create a place for job-seekers and persons with disabilities to explore suitability while having fun.
During the event’s two days many visitors came, and the HADO experience booth remained lively throughout.

Feedback from Participants & Survey Results

In a questionnaire conducted after the event, positive reactions were received from a wide range of participants: persons with disabilities, their families, support staff, and general visitors.

Key results:

• “I want to play again”: approx. 90%

• “It was easy / very easy”: approx. 80% 
  Many commented, “Even though I have a disability I could enjoy it,” or “I was able to play together.” 
  Impressive comments included:

“Even though I have a disability I could enjoy it — I felt like I could win.”
“I’m a rehabilitation professional and this would be good for hand movement and increasing activity.”
“Because you can see your surroundings there was no danger; I could play safely and enjoyably.”
“There are attack and defence roles and strategy — it’s fun.”
From these responses, it was confirmed once again that HADO is a sport that allows people with and without disabilities to enjoy together.

Promoting HADO as a Next-Generation Sport Everyone Can Enjoy

HADO aims to spread worldwide as a next-generation sport that everyone can enjoy. At this event, seeing many people, regardless of disability, playing together with smiles reaffirmed that HADO is a sport that connects people. Moving forward, we will continue to create a future where everyone can enjoy the same playing field.
