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!
