Planning: How to quickly find the next concrete dates

1. Open the municipal event calendar and the websites of the institutions.
2. Search for filters such as culture, education, tour, lecture, or history.
3. For the desired date, check: date/time, meeting point, duration, language, accessibility, registration.
4. If you want to travel: match dates with accommodation and public transport/access.
5. On the day of the event, check the status again (changes/cancellations).

Notes on Accessibility, Participation, and Respectful Interaction

• Accessibility: Whether an event is accessible without steps or has special requirements is stated in the respective announcement. If in doubt, a short inquiry with the organizer is worthwhile.
• Discussion formats: Democratic educational work thrives on exchange. Plan time for conversations and expect that moderation rules may apply.
• Data protection: Personal data may be collected during registration; the data protection information of the respective institution is decisive.
