Digital Municipality for All in Bochum: Experience Inclusive Participation at BVZ

Tangible Digital Participation: Inclusion Made Practical in Bochum

On June 24, 2026, the Bochum Adult Education Center invites you to an evening that rethinks municipal planning: barrier-free, understandable, and together with the people for whom participation often remains too complicated. The research project DiKomAll shows how digital participation procedures can become accessible to everyone – with concrete applications, an interactive demonstrator, and, if possible, a digital map table to try out. The event will take place from 18:00 to 20:00 at BVZ am Gustav-Heinemann-Platz 2-6; admission is free.

An Evening Between Urban Planning, Technology, and Participation

Anyone interested in digitalization with societal added value will experience here not an abstract technical discussion but a vivid event experience. The focus is on simplified digital maps that can be integrated into existing systems such as the KomMonitor. The idea behind it: to present participation in noise action planning and health planning in such a way that even people with so-called mental disabilities can actively participate.

Inclusive Formats, Tangibly Explained

The evening is aimed at everyone who wants to understand digital municipality not just as a buzzword but as a real opportunity for municipal participation. The DiKomAll project is conducted within the BMFTR funding framework for barrier-free formats for public participation and connects research, administration, and practice. This exact combination gives the event professional depth and strong authority in the fields of inclusion and digital participation.
