European Union's Commission Introduces Initiative to Boost Youth Participation within the Union
The City of Aachen is set to host the "einzigARTig - the Festival of Inclusive Culture" on September 6th and 7th, 2025, at the old ASEAG Depot in Talstraße. This unique event aims to bring people together through art and culture, promoting diversity, solidarity, and inclusion[1].
The festival's guiding principles are active participation and co-creation, encouraging artists with disabilities to collaborate with their peers and work together as equals in collaborative projects[1]. This approach fosters genuine involvement rather than mere spectatorship, allowing participants to actively shape and influence the programming.
The "einzigARTig" festival provides a platform for artists with disabilities from across the cultural spectrum to present their work to a broad audience[1][2]. The event is free to attend, aiming to encourage broad public access and engagement with inclusive cultural expressions.
The program includes a variety of additional activities, such as interviews, lectures, a panel discussion, and information booths, further promoting dialogue and inclusion[1]. For detailed information about the festival, including the program, visit www.ourwebsite.de/einzigartig.
Collaboration with non-disabled individuals is also encouraged at the "einzigARTig" festival, as it continues to offer a space for diverse human identities to participate actively in cultural events, not just passively.
The City of Aachen's Deputy Mayor for Education, Youth, and Culture, Heinrich Brötz, emphasizes the importance of the festival, stating that it aligns with the city's efforts to achieve cultural policy objectives, including strengthening and maintaining equality of opportunity and justice[3].
