INKuLtur
– For Inclusive Culture
People with disabilities encounter barriers in many everyday situations which makes equal access to social life difficult if not impossible for them. These barriers affect wheelchair users, people with hearing or visual impairments, as well as people with intellectual and other disabilities on different levels.
To remove these barriers we all need to develop and support the culture of inclusion, which would not only accept all differences in our backgrounds and experiences, but also value them.
With our international programme „INKuLtur – For Inclusive Culture” we aim to create an environment that makes inclusion a priority!
Our Materials
Dictionary of Culture in Easy to Understand
As part of the INKuLtur programme, experts in accessible language from the Project “Buro CH” („Бюро Ч“), Sprachprofis GmbH and Lebenshilfe Hattingen together with the representatives of cultural institutions, created a “Dictionary of Culture in Accessible Language”. The dictionary is currently available in German and Russian.
Policy Paper for Cultural Institutions

Video Course “Interactive Inclusion”
For this tutorial, ten experts from the field of inclusion and culture talk about their professional and personal experiences in nine videos and give suggestions on necessary and desirable measures for greater accessibility in museums.
