Accessability

The following information is still from last year! Expect things to be similar this year, we just didn’t have time to discuss everything yet.

Note on barriers and accessability at the CSD Göttingen 2022

We strive to recognise barriers at the CSD, to actively reduce them or to prevent them from arising in the first place. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. We want to point out the barriers at the CSD here, and show where we have made an effort to remove them.

Information on barriers at the CSD demonstration:

  • It is possible to ride the demonstration with a wheelchair. There are no physical barriers for wheelchairs on the demo route.
  • The demo route is 3 kilometres long.
  • There are no guidance systems for people with visual impairments on the demo route.
  • Loud music will be played at some points on the demonstration.
  • People should keep their distance during the demonstration. Nevertheless, it can happen that people come closer.
  • Many people come together at the demonstration. It can sometimes get crowded.
  • People do not have to wear a mask at the demonstration (but we ask that they do).
