Review
Een jury met vertegenwoordigers van het Arnhems Platform Chronisch Zieken en Gehandicapten (APCG), Cultuur Academy en de gemeente Arnhem beoordeelt de plannen op ambitie, haalbaarheid en impact. Op 30 januari, tijdens de aftrap van het evenementenseizoen in Theater Oostpool, wordt de winnaar bekendgemaakt.
The jury will evaluate the plans on the following criteria:
- Ambition: How ambitious and innovative is the plan?
- (Practical) feasibility: Is the plan realistic and feasible within the time and resources provided?
- Sustainability: Is the investment in accessibility a one-time event, or does it contribute to future editions of the same or similar events?
- Role model: Can the plan serve as inspiration for other events?
Stuur je inzending vóór 15 januari naar Cultuur Academy door het formulier via onderstaande knop in te vullen en je plan als bijlage mee te sturen. Vragen? Stuur een mail naar Robin Atema via toegankelijkheid@cultuuracademy.nl.

Retrospective On the Border #6 - between values and rebuttal
On Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025, the Mariënburg Chapel in Nijmegen filled up for the sixth edition of Over de Grens, Cultuur Academy's biannual talk show. This time the program focused on values, choices and finding your voice in a complex society. As an artist or organization, how do you deal with outside pressure, criticism or controversy? And where do you draw the line yourself?
