Advisory activities and fun public actions to make Wageningen an inclusive municipality. Will you help?
What are you going to do?
Are you a disability in the broadest sense of the word? For example, are you unable to walk or unable to walk properly, or unable to see or hear (properly)? Or do you have a mental illness? Or are you someone with qualities on the autistic spectrum? Or are you in a minimal financial situation? Or do you have non-congenital brain damage, etc.? Or partner/parent/next of kin? Then join our working group. We meet on average every two months to prepare advisory activities and fun public actions. You bring your practical experience and you participate in our activities. You do this together with other members of our working group.
What we ask?
Enthusiasm, thinking along, creativity, humor, every talent is welcome, we all complement each other.
Working time
There are no fixed working hours. We meet approximately every two months, usually at the end of the afternoon (± an hour or an hour and a half) in the city (e.g. at Thuis Wageningen). Activities are held when most effective and in consultation.

About Wageningen inclusief
Wageningen Inclusive
We want everyone to be able to participate in Wageningen. Whether you are in a wheelchair, have poor eyesight, or struggle with forms.
We are a group of committed residents. We pay attention to what can be improved in the city. And we tell the municipality about it.
We have been working for eight years. We have a small core group and twenty people who help out.
What do we do?
We walk through the city and see what is wrong. A sidewalk that is too narrow. A counter that is too high. A form that no one understands. We report this to the municipality.
We also give lessons at schools. And we organize tours through the city, where people in wheelchairs experience for themselves what needs to be improved.
What do we want to achieve?
A Wageningen where everyone can simply lead their own life. Not because they have to. But because that is how it should be.
