Apply now: Second round of qualification programme starts

The qualification programme at a glance

From July 2024 to June 2027, Un-Label will offer three to four cultural organisations per year comprehensive training in implementing their inclusive opening process. The programme is part of the nationwide project Access Maker – Innovationshub. Cultural organisations wishing to apply have the opportunity to benefit from our wide range of tailored advice, training and intensive support.

The aim is to impart factual knowledge, raise awareness, and enable practical applications tailored to the specific context of each organisation.

Our programme addresses different work areas of cultural organisations. To ensure a holistic and long-term transformation, it is structured around the five pillars of cultural work:

• Programme
• Personnel
• Audience
• PR & Communications
• Partnerships

As a team of consultants with different disability perspectives and experts in inclusive cultural work, we support cultural organisations in this process.

Who can apply? When? How often?

Each year, three to four cultural organisations from across Germany are selected by the programme team in consultation with the funders.

• Second project round: July 2025 – June 2026
