Our capacity and financial resources limit what we can do.
In some cases, it is not yet sure whether we will be able to manage them from an organisational point of view.
Please fill in our accessibility form if you anticipate any barriers. Only then can we tell you precisely and reliably what we can put in place.
Of course, this list can never claim to be complete. You know best what constitutes a barrier for you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email at enthinderung@system–change–camp.org or by phone on +49 1521 5448883.
Remaining Barriers
- The program is almost entirely in complex language. There is a program in Easy Language from 21–23.08. Feel free to come to us or ask an assistant or a buddy so that you can look at the program together or attend a program together.
- We do not have enough floor panels to lay out all paths. The area of the low-barrier camp and the info tent will definitely be laid out with floor panels. The paths in the park are wheelchair-accessible in their condition, but in some places very steep. If you need support driving/walking over the grass or the hills, get in touch with us. (Good to know: Thanks to funding, more floor panels can be purchased. So next year there will be more!)
- Right by the park, the constant noise of a highway can be heard. You will receive earplugs and noise-canceling headphones at the camp. There is a chill tent and a quiet tent. If you need quiet spaces outside the camp, get in touch with us.
- DGS interpretation is only available on 21.08. in 2–3 program slots
