Akzeptanzmarkt

In the organizer's words:

The 1st Christmas acceptance market of the Einzelfallhilfe-Manufaktur
A Christmas market for everyone - inclusive, barrier-free and welcoming

On the first day of Advent, November 30 and December 1 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., a very special Christmas market will open its doors in the Waschhaus-Arena Potsdam. The event is aimed at all people - regardless of age, origin or disability - and aims to create an inclusive and barrier-free experience in the run-up to Christmas.

The Christmas market has a clear goal: to enable participation for everyone. People with disabilities and older visitors should feel just as welcome as families, children and young people. In contrast to traditional events, the focus here is on encounters and communal interaction. In "quiet hours", the Einzelfallhilfe-Manufaktur deliberately creates a low-stimulus atmosphere by avoiding music and bright lights. This means that people who are sensitive to stimuli or neurodivergent can also take part in the Christmas market.

The special atmosphere of the Acceptance Festival is to be carried over into the Christmas season. Christmas hands-on stands, a story time read in Braille, Christmas caroling, a reading by Karsten Krampitz from "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Hoffnung", a cozy board game corner and a Christmas story in easy language invite you to experience contemplation together.

The Christmas market will be low-threshold but sophisticated. For example, a Christmas cocktail and homemade mulled wine with or without alcohol will create a festive atmosphere, which can be found at the interactive stands and throughout the market area. Hands-on activities such as painting Christmas baubles or making Christmas decorations are complemented by a gift-wrapping station.

Admission is free and voluntary - donations are requested.
