What can be done to achieve inclusion?
- obstacles must be eliminated

- keep talking about inclusion to ensure that as many people as possible learn about it
Inclusion according to DIN 18034:2019-12
DIN 18034:2019-12 defines planning objectives and requirements with regard to accessibility. The “Two-senses-principle” and the “Two-ways-principle” must be fulfilled. “Guidance systems” are also suitable for supporting accessibility.
