Tottori Prefecture established the nation's first "sign language ordinance" in October 25 in order to build a society where deaf and non-deaf people can understand each other and live together. Based on the philosophy of the Tottori Prefecture Sign Language Ordinance, we are working to popularize sign language, promote exchange through sign language, and revitalize the region.
In order to realize the philosophy of the ``Tottori Prefecture Sign Language Ordinance,'' we will create a place where high school students from all over the country can perform in various ways using sign language. High school students from all over the country will be holding various performances using sign language, with the aim of getting people to realize that sign language is a means of communicating intentions and information, as well as promoting interaction through sign language and performances and contributing to regional revitalization. The ``National High School Sign Language Performance Koshien'' will be held in Tottori Prefecture, the ``sacred place for sign language'', where participants will compete to show off their expressiveness.
