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!
Our Materials

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.
