Diverse offers for everyone
This year the Breminale is not only culturally strong, but also inclusive. The event location, the meadows on Osterdeich and the art gallery in the park, has been made accessible to many people. The program ranged from concerts to readings and children's theater, all free and open to everyone. The Buddie network requires prior registration and is supported by volunteers who accompany people with a “B” on their severely disabled ID. There are alternative solutions for people without a disability certificate who need support due to neurodiversity. City of Culture Bremen explains that….
To make the visit as pleasant as possible for everyone, barrier-free toilets are also available, and information about how to get there, gradients and directions can be found on the Breminale website.

The Breminale is committed to making culture accessible to everyone and breaking down barriers - a goal that will remain important in the future!
