This activity aims to showcase the talents, skills, and professional demeanor of people with disabilities. Each province participating in the festival designs exhibition halls around vocational assistance and skill display for people with disabilities.

The craftsman club "Craftsmanship Gathering", which gathered the disabled population in Shanghai, also made an appearance at the booth.

From skill competitions to exhibition festivals, from learning and training to employment and entrepreneurship, Shanghai's disability industry is gradually exploring its own unique path.

Recently, the Shanghai Disabled Employment Service Center located on Luochuan East Road in Jing'an District has completed its upgrade. Under the name "Sunshine 201", it has achieved a combination of multiple functions such as competition preparation and training, entrepreneurship incubation, employment assistance, and community service. Milk tea shops, leather goods shops, smartphone and computer repair studios, pottery workshops, nail salons, sign language classrooms... With the help of many skilled professionals with disabilities who have already settled in, more people here have opportunities to learn, find employment, and grow. While surrounding residents enjoy affordable and high-quality services and products, it also opens up a two-way window for understanding, learning, making friends, and mutual assistance between able-bodied and disabled individuals.
