With presentations from the Moving Beyond Inclusion partners on their own work and with further contributions from other external professionals, the programme reflected on the artistic possibilities that dance with diverse physicalities offers. It included lectures, workshops, plenary discussions, panels and a forum where participants of the congress were invited to present their own projects in short form.

The conference’s languages were German, English and German sign language (each with simultaneous translation). The venue was accessible for wheelchair users.
