Award granted to three distinct initiatives in Brandenburg - Recognition of Three Projects with Brandenburg Award for Inclusion
The Brandenburg Inclusion Prize 2025, a regional award given by the state of Brandenburg, Germany, to promote projects that focus on accessibility, social participation, and diversity, has recognised three exceptional initiatives this year. Minister Britta Müller presented the awards under the motto "Inclusion in Action! - Making a Big Impact with 'Small' Steps."
First place and a prize of €5,000 was awarded to Verein Einzelfallhilfe-Manufaktur e. V. for its "Acceptance Festival" in Potsdam. The event aims to make inclusion tangible through arts, performances, and public engagement, with the goal of promoting acceptance and social inclusion in the community.
Second place and a prize of €3,000 was given to Museumsverband des Landes Brandenburg e. V. for its "Brandenburg Museums Without Barriers" initiative. This project has been supporting museums in removing barriers for people with disabilities since 2018, improving facilities, exhibitions, and programming to ensure accessibility for all.
Third place and a prize of €2,000 was awarded to the community of Wandlitz (district of Barnim) for its project "House of Possibilities." Details about this project were not specified, but it appears to be an innovative space or center designed to foster empowerment, participation, and equal opportunities for marginalised groups.
The competition received applications from various municipal and civil society actors, with around 40 entries in total. These winning projects represent key practical initiatives that enhance inclusion for people with disabilities or social barriers.
Minister Müller emphasised the importance of inclusion in daily life, in cities, communities, and neighbourhoods. She stated that these projects demonstrate that making a big impact can start with small steps towards greater inclusivity.
