In April, Matteo was invited to speak at the Kölner Agenturclub to present our project “”Wer ist schon normal?”.
The Sturmfreie Bude on the 29th floor of the Uni-Center hosted Web de Cologne last week – the network of the regional digital economy. Matteo was invited to give a keynote speech on the topic of inclusion and communication.
The evening began with Aktion Mensch, explaining the diversity of the topic of inclusion and the status quo in Germany. Bitter truth: In the latest study on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (which examines the rights of people with disabilities and progress in inclusive measures), Germany received a failing grade. There is an urgent need for action in education, accessibility and employment!

This was also confirmed by Jürgen Krings, whose agency is a specialist in digital accessibility. A complex topic that only a few people have dealt with so far. However, this will change dramatically with the Accessibility Strengthening Act, because from June 2025, digital accessibility will also be mandatory for companies!
We are grateful for this educational and inspiring evening, which we were able to round off wonderfully with our inclusive music video project. We would be delighted if you watch our video again & share it.
