INKuLtur
– For Inclusive Culture
People with disabilities encounter barriers in many everyday situations that make equal access in society difficult if not impossible. These affect wheelchair users, people with hearing or visual impairments, as well as people with intellectual and other disabilities on different levels. And inclusive culture helps to change this because inclusion means that everyone is valued.
Creating an inclusive culture requires first removal of barriers and acceptance of differences in backgrounds and experiences.
With our international programme „INKuLtur – For Inclusive Culture” we aim to create an environment that makes inclusion a priority!
