Inclusion Forum 2026: When sports in Gelsenkirchen overcome barriers

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Gelsenkirchen will meet at the Schürenkamp Sports Center for a forum that sharpens the focus on sports and movement anew. From 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, the focus will be on barrier-free infrastructure, inclusive offerings, and the question of how participation in organized sports can be improved.

A forum with a clear stance

The format brings together citizens, clubs, institutions, professionals, and administration at one table. The emphasis is not on quick headlines, but on concrete practice: How can sports facilities become more accessible, how do open movement offerings arise, and how can people with disabilities be more strongly integrated?

Impulses from sports development

The program focuses on impactful content. It addresses how accessibility is factored into sports development planning, how inclusive structures grow, and how sports can unleash its connective power in everyday life. In the stadium atmosphere of exchange, between the chants of good ideas and the echoes of experiential knowledge, a forum arises here that goes far beyond a classic appointment.

Encounter instead of distance

The direct exchange is particularly strong at a finger food buffet. There, conversations occur at eye level, good practice examples become tangible, and inclusion gets a face. The event will be accompanied by sign language interpreters; support in Easy Language is also available upon request. An FM system is in place for participants with hearing impairments.

Barrier-free at the Schürenkamp Sports Center

The Schürenkamp Sports Center in Schalke provides the suitable setting for an afternoon where accessibility is not only a topic but a lived prerequisite. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and the restrooms are fully accessible as well. This creates a place where sports, participation, and encounters are thought of together in practice.

Conclusion: An appointment for all who want to promote inclusion in sports

The Inclusion Forum 2026 connects expert impulses, exchange, and concrete perspectives for increased participation in sports. Those who want to experience how ideas turn into real movement should not miss this date and should follow the discussion in Gelsenkirchen live.
