The initial collaboration began nine months before the actual event. This period was characterised by an internal and external familiarisation phase, during which we at Kollektiv Barrieren Sprengen e. V. first had to learn to understand the collectivist organisational structure of TARMAC e. V. Within the working group, after we established contact to all involved collectives, we dealt with the concrete planning of structural and awareness-related measures.
Thanks to financial support from Aktion Mensch, the concepts developed were implemented as follows:
- Communication with guests and ticket management
With a quota of around 30 participation tickets, festival attendance was offered at a reduced price for people with disabilities. Free entry for personal assistance was also included. Additionally a wheelchair-accessible shuttle service was offered, but not made used of by our guests. During the event, we were available to guests around the clock via walkie-talkies. The primary task during these shifts was to check the infrastructure.
- Site infrastructure
The festival infrastructure was upgraded with wheelchair-accessible sanitary facilities and paths to the festival and camping ground. Specific construction measures also included the service counters at bars being lowered and the a so-called 'Teilhabe-Camp' on the camping ground.
