Regatta Chatter – Water sports are inclusive!

And what are the implications for the culture of history and remembrance at the Grünau Water Sports Museum?

The “Regattageschnatter” discussion series would like to engage with you on these questions—with the goal of telling the history of sport in an inclusive way.

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