Focus: Recreational sports

What does it mean to be inclusive in sports?

What challenges and changes does this entail? And what are the implications for the culture of history and remembrance at the Grünau Water Sports Museum?

These two events will explore these questions. Through the “Regattageschnatter” discussion series, we’d like to engage in conversation with you—with the goal of telling the history of sport in an inclusive way.

Both events will be interpreted into German Sign Language and spoken language.
