Accessibility
         and             Inclusion

Connecting over a dozen Open House festival organisers across the continent, each year Open House Europe selects an Annual Theme to highlight challenges faced by our society. The 2024 Open House Europe programme will highlight accessible and inclusive aspects of the built environment.

The theme draws attention to how architectural design and urban planning can prioritise inclusivity and make cities more accommodating for all individuals, regardless of their varied abilities, appearances, social backgrounds and other characteristics. Project partners will offer more inclusive means to access the city's spaces and various additional thought-provoking activities throughout the year.

The three-year project will focus each year on a new direction: sustainability, accessibility and inclusion, and future heritage. These thematic axes will allow Open House Europe to shape the agenda for a debate about contemporary and heritage architecture, its values and quality.
