Presentation of the anthology and the winners of the "Pride Words for All" writing competition
With the literary competition "Pride Words for All", we want to help break down barriers and promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in society. After all, one in ten people in Germany lives with disabilities due to a physical, mental or illness-related impairment.
In the writing competition, around 200 people with disabilities from as many age groups and backgrounds as possible presented their view of life in their chosen literary form.
From these submissions, the jury, headed by linguist and author Martin Wolkner, selected the works of at least 20 authors and the prize winners.
These will be presented at the event.
Film: Miracles
Afterwards, together with Filmhaus Köln, we will be showing the film - Wunder (Wonder) is a family drama from 2017 directed by Stephen Fosky and starring Julia Roberts, Jacob Tremblay and Owen Wilson It is about the life of 8-year-old August "Auggie" Pullman (Jacob Tremblay), who lives in Brooklyn.
Little August is called Auggie by everyone. Since he was a baby, he has had to undergo numerous operations to be able to breathe and see properly. His deformed face makes him an outsider when he finally goes to public school. The opinion of his new classmates naturally weighs much more heavily than that of his loving parents (Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson).
But after some initial difficulties, Auggie also finds people at school who accept and admire him.
