Attention: This event will be hold in German.

Everyone wants to and should be able to experience nature and learn more about it. For many educators and nature educators, however, the questions arise of how to design educational programs for these groups and how to make the experience of nature as inclusive as possible.

In the webinar, experts will present how to plan, prepare, organize, and implement offerings for groups of people with different disabilities. We will look at which methods are suitable for different target groups and how to adapt them to enable as many people as possible to participate joyfully. Creative methods will be discussed, as well as ways to work with different senses.

Date: 29.07.2021
Time: 09:00 am to 11:00 am
Online via Zoom

He has been in a wheelchair since an accident thirty years ago - and knows, what he is talking about, when it comes to accessibility. As a visionary and cross-thinker, he works with his consulting office on design of solutions that are not only inclusive, but also economically and esthetically appealing.
