Minister Hili Trooper said: "In Israel there are close to 20% people with disabilities. I see great value in promoting equal rights for them and providing a real opportunity to integrate them. A reformed society is a society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, fulfill their aspirations and advance without physical barriers or The State of Israel has a responsibility to make broad and significant moves that will allow equality, integration and accessibility for people with disabilities. I want to promote these values ​​in all areas of the ministry and give them practical expression in the whole world of culture and sports in Israel. And the combination will materialize in practice. "

Oren Yitzhaki, CEO of Please Touch, added: "This is a very exciting moment for us.

After years, it seems that our efforts to create a perceptual change towards art and culture created by people with disabilities are bearing fruit.

Government policy reform permeates and produces a fundamental change that enables equality and justice.

This is a comprehensive program that will allow for the first time to expand the required funding, thus professionalizing the field of inclusive culture.

It has been proven that the most effective tool for shattering stigmas, expanding public awareness and inclusion of people with special needs is through culture and the arts.

Sensory workshops and theater whose actors are blind and deaf convey a message of power and not of misery. "
