Accessibility

The lit.RUHR strives to be as inclusive as possible.

For years now, the lit.RUHR has been actively working to enable persons with disabilities to participate. There is a wide range of barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating normally in cultural events. In its efforts to change this, the lit.RUHR offers multiple fully-accessible and improved-access events every year.

Among other actions, we offer events that
• are accessible for wheelchair users and guests with mobility impairments;
• are interpreted into sign language. In view of the current situation, we ask that you notify us in advance when an interpreter is needed; we will be happy to check whether we can provide a sign language interpreter for your desired event;
• provide audio induction loop systems for hearing-impaired guests.

Since we want our events to for everyone, we provide KulturPott.Ruhr with a number of tickets, so they can give them to people who could normally not afford a visit.

Even though it is not yet possible to make all our events fully or at least more easily accessible, we are constantly seeking ways to increase that number. The many and varied event venues that are cooperation partners of lit.RUHR contribute greatly to this effort. The German inclusiveness advocacy organisation Aktion Mensch provides vital support here.

We wish you a lit.RUHR that is as exciting, enjoyable and accessible as possible!
