Chemnitz 2025 for everyone: Together with Petra Liebetrau, the City of Chemnitz's representative for people with disabilities, the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 GmbH team organised the Info-Café on tour. This took place on 26 September 2023 at the Municipal Music School in Chemnitz.

Around 50 people attended and actively participated. The aim of the event was to involve as many people as possible, with or without disabilities, in the Capital of Culture year. Various ideas were presented on how to get involved, e.g. via Team Generation or the volunteer programme.

During the event, various themed tables were set up to discuss important issues relating to inclusion and accessibility. The discussion was very lively and the organisers were able to gain a lot of input that will be incorporated into further planning.

The Info-Café on tour was the prelude to further meetings. The organisers want to offer further dates in the future to continue working on these topics with all interested parties.
