Inclusion Prize 2026: Commitment to diversity in Amberg required!

The Amberg-Sulzbach district and the city of Amberg called for participation in the 2026 Inclusion Prize on November 17, 2025. As part of the AM-AS inclusion alliance, projects, initiatives, companies, associations or individuals are to be honored that are particularly committed to inclusive cooperation. The aim of the inclusion award is to set an example for participation, diversity and accessibility in the region, reports ebermannsdorf.de.

The inclusion alliance has been offering the Amberg / Amberg-Sulzbach Inclusion Prize since it was founded in 2018. Not only individuals can be honored, but also groups and organizations that are committed to improving the living situation of people with disabilities. It is important that the commitment is independent of financial interests. It is aimed primarily at everyday heroes and collaborations that have already done voluntary work to promote inclusion, such as inclusion-am-as.de describes.

Commitment to inclusive coexistence

The inclusion award aims to recognize voluntary work that has already been done. The commitment is intended to promote participation and improve the living conditions of people with disabilities in the Amberg and Amberg-Sulzbach area. This concept is in line with the goals of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and the Disability Equality Act (BGG), which promote diversity and inclusion in Germany.

These laws aim to prevent discrimination, promote accessibility and ensure equality for people with disabilities in various areas of life. They also provide legal foundations to enable non-discriminatory participation in education, employment and social services, such as livingquarter.de explained.

Meaning and impact of the inclusion price

With the Inclusion Prize, the initiators not only want to increase the visibility of inclusive projects and initiatives, but also to raise society's awareness of the topic of inclusion. The award shows how important commitment to diverse and inclusive coexistence is. The prize is intended to encourage people to take further measures and to set an active example for accessibility in everyday life.

The announcement of the Inclusion Prize 2026 underlines the shared responsibility of municipalities and citizens. The time is ripe to develop and implement innovative solutions and approaches to promote inclusion in the region. The inclusion prize is an important step in the right direction and will hopefully motivate many people to get actively involved.
