□Implementation Details
1. Big Heart Project (Workshop)
Chofu City has been implementing the "Chofu Para Art Exhibition" since the 2017 fiscal year as part of the "Para Heart Chofu" initiative aimed at enhancing a symbiotic society, showcasing works by members active in welfare workshops within the city. This year, as a supporting project for the "Para Art Exhibition," we will conduct the 'Big Heart Project,' which anyone can participate in. In line with "Para Heart Chofu," we will create palm-sized hearts using colorful duct tape and connect the hearts collected from everyone to complete a large art piece. This project involves many participants from various fields, including welfare organizations in the city, FC Tokyo players, and artists associated with Chofu. We encourage all visitors to experience the creation of the large art piece.
The coach, players, and staff of FC Tokyo have also written messages in the blue and red heart!
