People with disabilities face barriers every single day. Every year on 5 May, disabled people from all over Europe celebrate the European Independent Living Day, an opportu- nity to discuss the hardships and triumphs of togetherness. On this day in 2025, we’ll build functional wheelchair ramps using colourful building blocks in a public event at Schlossteichinsel. The bricks are donations from Chemnitz residents. Everyone will work together under the guidance of experts.
This project is cofinanced by tax funds on the basis of the parliamentary budget of the state of Saxony and by federal funds from the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media), as well as funds from the City of Chemnitz.
