Strategic Goals, the City of Monheim am Rhein sees itself as a "City for Everyone" where inclusion and equal opportunities are actively promoted and realized.
Every person is unique and everyone can contribute to a society that appreciates diversity, actively promotes participation and enables all of its members to be involved. No-one is excluded. Appreciation for everyone in the community: that is the idea of inclusion. Inclusion is only possible through accessibility. Accessibility starts with a ramp, but also includes many other and very different areas. That is why its realization is a joint project. For inclusion to become a reality, everybody needs to be involved in removing barriers and creating equal participation for everyone.
Information and support services for people with disabilities, for example on the subject of the disabled person's pass, can be found at Help for People with Disabilities.
One of the most important inclusive projects in 2022/23 is the Host Town Program of the Special Olympics World Games 2023.

Funding goes to new initiatives and projects that make a clearly identifiable contribution to more inclusion in line with the "Monheim inklusiv" action plan. Funded activities need to promote togetherness and must be targeted at eliminating exclusion through others and at overcoming existing barriers. In particular, funds should go to projects or initiatives that are more than just a one-off activity, but that have the potential to become regular events with lasting effects – in other words, that are the building blocks of a "City for Everyone." A total annual sum of 40,000 euros is available for all approved projects. The funds are allocated on a quarterly basis. If you need ideas for projects or assistance with applications, feel free to contact the Inclusion Office.

In 2015, the City Council of Monheim am Rhein unanimously adopted the "Monheim inklusiv" action plan.
Monheim am Rhein is a "City for Everyone," where inclusion and equal opportunities are practiced at every level. The action plan is the next milestone on Monheim's journey towards becoming such a city. Results from seven working groups, consisting of numerous Council members and many residents of Monheim who volunteered to play an active role and contributed with their ideas, have been included in the plan. Several measures from the action plan have already been put into practice. As a result, the city of Monheim am Rhein takes a pioneering role in the field of inclusion.
