Celebrate the variety: inclusive summer festival for everyone in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen!

On Friday, July 18, 2025, there is an inclusive summer festival in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, which is under the motto "Celebrate diversity". The Cooperative Mensch EG's citizens' meeting "Together in the Kiez Leben" organizes this festival from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the meadow between Schöneicher and Freienwalder Straße. District Mayor Martin Schaefer (CDU) will open the event and thus spark a celebration that is aimed at all people, regardless of age, origin or life situation.

The program sequence promises a variety of activities that are supposed to address both the local community and families. Live music performances are planned, including from the Pinellis 90 ° and a saxophone ensemble of the music house. Another highlight are the free dishes from the grill and refreshing drinks. There is a bouncy castle, games and face painting for children, while the flea market invites you to browse, exchange and discover.

accessibility in the focus

Special attention is paid to accessibility, which is a crucial concern at such events. The meadow is accessible to wheelchair users and a barrier-free dixie toilet is available. In addition, there is a tent with is mat and pillows, ideal for visitors who need some peace and retreat from the festival.

Such measures are urgently necessary because demographic change in Berlin shows that about 10 percent of the population rely on accessibility. According to the information from berlin.de, 30 to 40 percent of the population rely on support in everyday life, while for the rest, accessibility is an important improvement in comfort. Berlin strives to become a comprehensive barrier -free city. Significant progress has been made in the past two decades, but the goal of complete accessibility has not yet been achieved.

Berlin variety and integration

The initiative of Cooperative Mensch EG for the summer festival is only an example of the efforts in Berlin to offer including events. These are not only important for people with disabilities, but also for parents with strollers or people with limited mobility. Travel grids are broken down by numerous measures, which Berlin has brought in by the European Commission since 2013.

actions such as the planned summer festival help to reduce barriers in society and to strengthen integration measures. The events offer the opportunity to bring people together and to promote the exchange between different population groups. The city of Berlin is also planning to further expand its barrier -free facilities in order to facilitate travel for all people. This includes many theater, museums, cinemas and restaurants.

Admission to the summer festival is free, and only a stand fee for the flea market in the form of homemade cakes or muffins is collected. For questions and registrations for the flea market, Wiebke Sieber can be contacted, which can be reached on the phone number (030) 902 96-33 52.

All interested parties are invited to participate in this festival and to celebrate the diversity of Berlin.
