Inclusion council for people with disabilities

At the meeting on 29.01.2026, in addition to discussing the progress of applications and projects from the last meeting, the topic of grants for clubs was on the agenda. The Inclusion Advisory Board suggests that the city's funding guidelines for clubs be amended to ensure that clubs that have people with disabilities as members receive grants. This measure is intended to accompany the plan to bring people with disabilities and clubs into a dialog in order to achieve even more inclusion together.

As in the previous meeting, the topic of reduced admission prices to cultural institutions and events was discussed again. Here, the Advisory Board would like to focus more on people with disabilities and an existing disabled person's pass, as other groups are already covered by parallel funding opportunities. A corresponding application was formulated for this purpose, which will be submitted to the city for further consideration.

In future, a further focus will be placed on cooperation with the city's other advisory boards, the Migration and Integration Advisory Board and the Senior Citizens' Advisory Board. Within the scope of its respective responsibilities, the Inclusion Advisory Board would like to work together on topics that have common ground. As a first step, Chairman Horst Müller would like to present the work of the Inclusion Advisory Board to the respective committees. Contact with the district administration and the district administrator should also be further intensified in order to jointly design district-wide projects that are suitable for the disabled.
