💼 What the programme involves
The youth association of Weinsberg is organising a 2 week long holiday games event for 260 children between the ages of 9 and 12, in the style of a play city called Gnurpsel City. In this city, there will be the same kinds of establishments as in a real-life city. The kids choose a mayor, have their own currency, choose a job for themselves or can also enjoy the sport and cultural programme on offer. Your task, together with the 90 other volunteers from the local area, is to aid to children in their individual activities (making mosaics, painting, carpentry etc.) as well as taking down the tent city at the end of the event.
