Notes on Accessibility

Although Kreativ-Transfer is continuously striving to lower barriers, the application process is unfortunately still subject to certain barriers.

Please get in touch with us or ask a person of your trust to contact and inform us about your needs.

We will then try to arrange assistance and, after prior consultation, cover the costs, for example, for sign language interpretation.

In addition, we aim to seek professional support from an expert in order to make the application and selection process for the calls for proposals more inclusive and to lower barriers.

On this page you can find offers for the improvement of accessibility.


Plain Language

Travelling with accompanying persons

Different Disabilities

I am travelling with an accompanying person because I am unable to travel alone due to a disability.

How do I apply for additional funding for my accompanying person?

The costs incurred by the applicant only are listed in the "List of expected expenses" section of the online form, on the "Event" tab.

You can request funding for an accompanying person on the same tab – but further down. Here, you can specify the exact expenses (travel and accommodation expenses, per diems, and, if applicable, the registration fee). If your application is successful, these expenses will be covered in addition to the requested funding amount and will be noted in the funding agreement.

A brief explanation must be submitted with the application.

If your application is approved, you will need to provide a document confirming your disability (e.g. certificate of disability, medical certificate or similar).

Child Care

I am travelling with an accompanying person because I cannot travel alone due to childcare requirements.

How do I apply for additional funding for my acompanying person?

The costs incurred by the applicant only are listed in the ""List of expected expenses" section of the online form, on the "Event" tab.

You can request funding for an acompanying person as well as any travel expenses for the accompanying child on the same tab – but further down. Here, you can specify the exact expenses (travel and accommodation expenses, per diems, and, if applicable, the registration fee). If your application is successful, these expenses will be covered in addition to the requested funding amount and will be noted in the funding agreement.

An informal explanation must also be provided. Reasons may include:

  1. The child is still so young that the applicant cannot be separated from the child for the duration of the trip.
  2. The child is (chronically) ill and the applicant therefore cannot be separated from the child for the duration of the trip.
  3. The applicant is a single parent and the child cannot be otherwise cared for over the duration of the trip.
  4. The child's other caregiver is (chronically) ill so that the child cannot remain in the sole care of this caregiver for the duration of the trip.

Unfortunately, due to our given funding guidelines, it is not possible to cover any expense allowance for accompanying persons.
