Retrospectives - Insights - Outlooks: 30 years of the Day of Protest for the Equality of People with Disabilities

May 5 marks the 30th anniversary of the European Day of Protest for the Equality of People with Disabilities. Reason enough for Claudia Lychacz, municipal representative for the interests of people with disabilities in the district of Ludwigsburg, to dedicate a special hour to the topic. She will be doing this as part of the online format "Scala inklusiv - das Magazin" (Scala inclusive - the magazine), which has already been running for two years, on Tuesday, May 3, at 6 pm. As host of the event, she will be welcoming guests both live on the Stage for Diversity and online. Her guests are Ottmar Miles-Paul and Uwe Frevert, initiators of the first European Protest Day, Jutta Grolik, volunteer activist for accessibility, and Silke Rapp from tRAGWERK e.V.

Ottmar Miles-Paul, spokesperson for the league's self-representation, and Uwe Frevert, board member of the Interessenvertretung selbstbestimmt leben e.V., launched the annual day of protest on May 5 30 years ago. "You can't shape the future without including the past," says Lychacz, praising the commitment of the two. In the interview, they look back together on the beginnings, but also consider the development of the past 30 years. What is appropriate now? Joy that the protest day still exists or regret that it is still needed?

Various stakeholders have their say in video contributions, including District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier: "It is important to us that the people affected have their say and share their suggestions with us. This is the only way we can change the framework conditions."

Jutta Grolik, who is a wheelchair user herself, agrees: "I was active 30 years ago and still have a lot planned," says the committed 80-year-old ambassador for accessibility and recipient of the Federal Cross of Merit. She will be sharing her many years of experience with the audience live on site that evening. They will also have the opportunity to actively participate with opinions and questions. Questions and opinions are welcome in the chat and also in a final round.

The event will take place online via the Zoom platform. Access is via the Scala Kultur Live gGmbH homepage.

All participants will endeavor to use understandable language. Written and sign language interpretation is available. Acoustic descriptions are available for visually impaired people. Anyone whose interest has been aroused is invited. "After all, inclusion means #All," Claudia Lychacz reminds us of her personal work motto: "Solidarity and social interaction are the basis for inclusion becoming a matter of course in the Ludwigsburg district - and not just on May 5th every year."
