Velbert Champions Inclusion on International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Velbert is marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3 with a focus on equal opportunities and inclusion. The city works year-round to remove barriers and ensure people with disabilities can fully participate in society. Efforts include improving accessibility in public spaces, workplaces, and digital platforms.
The annual event highlights the importance of breaking down both physical and invisible obstacles. Prejudice, lack of awareness, and uncertainty often create barriers that are harder to see but just as limiting. Velbert’s initiatives aim to foster an open culture in public institutions, businesses, and daily life.
Velbert’s commitment extends beyond a single awareness day. The city’s continuous efforts aim to create a more inclusive environment for everyone. Residents and businesses are encouraged to play their part in building a society where barriers no longer limit opportunities for small business ideas.
