Summary/Abstract: "Democracy needs inclusion." is this year's motto of Jürgen Dusel, Representative for Matters relating to People with Disabilities of the Federal Government of Germany. Katrin Langensiepen, EU-Representative for social and inclusion policy, is committed to a social and inclusive Europe. "Dealing with people with disabilities has generally become more natural," says the 45-year-old Green politician, who speaks openly about her life with her visible disability. People with and without disabilities now work together in many areas of life. Inclusive projects are successfully implemented at schools, in vocational training and in working life. In the leisure sector, inclusion has become established above all in sport and the practice of art (painting, modeling, making music, dancing). The private German social organization "Aktion Mensch“ supports up to 1,000 projects a month through lottery proceeds in order to improve the living conditions of people with and without disabilities. Projects of the "Blauschimmel Atelier“ in Oldenburg are also financially supported. "The Blauschimmel Atelier in Oldenburg/Germany has been a place of active inclusion since 1998. It is an open place for every form of artistic diversity." The BlueScreen Ensemble has been making blue music in the Blauschimmel Atelier for over 20 years. Their agenda includes regular weekly meetings and participation in artistic and socio-cultural projects that take place across the region.The highlight for the BlueScreen Ensemble in 2022 was the musical, walk-in spatial production "radikal zart", which took place on September 25 as part of a festival for contemporary, experimental improvised music in the Art Gallery in Wilhelmshaven. This event was documented on video. A short collage of the live recording has been compiled by Oldenburg media artist Jörg Scheel. The following text first refers to the collage and then uses the example of the BlueScreen ensemble to highlight key aspects of working with inclusive groups.
