We are pleased to advise you that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) will resume the City Cast general
training online, which the members of the City Cast will be able to undertake safely and securely, instead of
holding group training. Since October of last year, the TMG has been providing general training for those who
applied for the City Cast (city volunteers) to equip them with the basic knowledge necessary for their activities.
However, as part of the measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, group training has been
postponed since 22 February 2020.
1. Overview:
1) Method of implementation
The City Cast members will be able to watch the training videos online on their computers and
smartphones.
2) Training period (observation period)
From Monday 31 August to the end of December 2020
3) Content
Outline of the Games, how to support various kind of people (such as people with an impairment) and
what to expect when participating, etc.
- 5 chapters approximately 120 minutes in total length.
- Each chapter will be offered in sequence from 31 August to the end of September 2020.
4) How to attend:
Access the "my page" section of the City Volunteer Portal website.
- Only accessible for the City Cast.
- City Cast members who have already participated in the general training (group training) can also watch
the videos.
- It is possible to watch the videos multiple times.
- We will accept questions from the volunteers by email or telephone.
2. Other initiatives:
In addition to the general training, we are preparing online training that will provide useful information on
spectator guidance and a system that will allow the City Cast to interact with each other online, based on
feedback from the City Cast.
3. Future schedule:
Winter 2020: Confirmation of the City Cast’s preferences regarding role and activity location
March – April: Notification of the City Cast’s roles and activity locations
April: Leadership training, training by role and location, and distribution of uniforms*
Note*:
In cooperation with the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee and others, the TMG will examine measures to prevent
the spread of the novel coronavirus during the activities of City Cast members. So the City Cast canparticipate with
peace of mind, the TMG will provide information on those measures during the training session.
