China launched a national campaign of cultural activities for people with disabilities in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Held between April and November, the initiatives will include reading sessions, book donations in communities and rural areas and group trips to cultural sites.
A circular on the campaign previously issued by the China Federation of People with Disabilities, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Press and Publication Administration emphasized the focus on the grassroots level, calling for efforts to expand the forms and content of cultural activities to enrich the cultural lives of people with disabilities.
An average of more than 6,000 cultural activities exclusive to these people are held every year in China, according to the data. Currently, public libraries in the country have a total of 35 thousand exclusive seats for people with disabilities, with 146 million books in Braille and more than 2 billion items of audiovisual materials, according to the data.
