Raúl Krauthausen has been working in the internet and media world for more than 15 years as a disability-rights activist, founder of the nonprofit organization “Sozialhelden” (Social Heroes), communicator and Design Thinker. The internet is his second home. There he twitters, blogs and posts about things that are important to him. Often humorous, sometimes very serious or sharp-tongued. He has become best known for his invention “Wheelmap, a crowdsourced, online world map for accessible places, as well as his undercover stay in a group home for people with disabilities and his protest against various German laws affecting people with disabilities. 

Here is what we cover in today’s episode: 

1. If there is a difference in the mindset of Americans and Germans when it comes to inclusion and accessibility. 
2. A little bit about how Raul got involved with the disability rights movement. 
3. And what inclusion means to him and how he’s been promoting inclusion in Germany.
