Kazakhstan meets Spandau - exchange about barrier -free communities

The event brought together representatives from both countries to overcome language barriers and explore common values ​​in terms of integration and diversity. It was a unique moment of exchange that underlined the growing importance of barrier -free communities.

The discussion was led in German, English and even partially in Kazakh, which enriched the intercultural exchange. The participation of the coordinator for inclusion, Mirjam Ottlewski, as well as the district officer for seniors and people with disabilities, Sargon Lang, contributed to contributing various perspectives and experiences.

District Mayor Frank Werwig emphasized the importance of exchange and praised the efforts of Spandau to create an inclusive and barrier -free environment.
