As pop culture stakeholders from NRW, you can get advice here on accessible event planning and inclusive cultural work. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will also be new dates in 2026.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the office hours, you can bring your own topics and questions. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to make your events more inclusive and accessible, but don\u2019t know where or how to start? Are you already working on making your events, concerts, etc. accessible, but you\u2019re stuck at a certain point? Would you like to discuss your plans and the implementation of accessibility measures with experts again? Then sign up for a free, individual consultation appointment. The experts from the Barrierefrei Feiern initiative will advise you individually\u2014no matter how far along you are or what prior knowledge you bring.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consultation appointments take place online, last 90 minutes, and are scheduled by individual arrangement. If you\u2019re interested, please contact Katharina at <a href=\"mailto:mail@popboard.nrw\">mail@popboard.nrw<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><br\/>\u2028When registering, please let us know whether you have any accessibility requirements for participating in a consultation.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Barrierefrei Feiern initiative<\/strong> is a nationwide collective of disabled people and their allies advocating for accessible cultural offerings. Through the associated consulting agency <strong>WIR K\u00dcMMERN UNS<\/strong>, experts by lived experience are connected with organizers, festivals, cultural institutions, municipalities, collectives, associations, and federations to advise and support them in developing inclusive cultural strategies.

The three interviews reflect the perspectives of a musician, an organizer, and a visitor to cultural events, and include various helpful tips on how you can make your events accessible. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped circle wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9ojwvwg0HLY\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"88\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F0JeZlYRMQI\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"88\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ByDLQhRNimg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"88\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.popboard.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Portrait-Blau-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"pop-support-nrw\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pop Support NRW \u2013 advice and exchange for doers<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You\u2019re involved in pop music and pop culture, but you\u2019re not getting anywhere?<br\/><\/strong>Are you missing the right contacts in the authorities or the city administration?<br\/>Are you planning an event and want to keep track of everything important?
