💼 What the programme involves
The youth welfare office of the town of Bad Oeynahusen is organising another two-week long holiday games event for 130 children between the ages of 6 and 13, who will be looked after and supervised with the help of both the ijgd group and locals.
This year the children will be on an adventurous and exciting mission around the universe to discover hidden depths of our world. Through this they will learn many things about the solar system and the life of astronauts. They will also be able to create fantasy worlds, to slip into the roles of extraterrestrial beings, Jedi knights and galactic princess. There are no limits to the imagination here, meaning that through exciting games, crafts, discoveries and other activities, the holiday camp will transform into a gigantic world of stars.
You will build huts and stalls with the children. When working with wood, hammers and saws, the children will meed to be supervised and supported. Additionally, you'll be going on excursions with the children and it is planned to sleep overnight somewhere. You will spend the first week preparing the holiday games event together with the employees of the youth welfare office. Besides this, you'll have the time to get to know each other as well as to explore not only the town of Bad Oeynhausen, but also other cities. In the second and third weeks, the holiday games event will take place. Your ideas and creativity are very much welcome.
