The APCD facilitators team, representing the Community Development Department and led by Mr. Watcharapol Chuengcharoen (Chief of Networking & Collaboration) and Ms. Siriporn Praserdchat (Logistics Officer), facilitated engaging demonstrations of Takkyu Volley, Samspel, and Dodge Bee—three inclusive sports introduced by Japanese experts through the DIS project at APCD training a few years ago. More than 700 participants from 27 provinces across Thailand attended, including persons with psychosocial disabilities, their families, and supporters. This event aimed to enhance physical and mental wellbeing, promote social participation, promote self-reliance, and strengthen collaboration among stakeholders nationwide. APCD and AMITH continue to work together to ensure equal opportunities and contribute to a more inclusive society.
