Holiday fun for children and Upcycling – Building Furniture

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Diversity and fun are guaranteed in this camp! The Pegasus culture and leisure centre is located in the middle of the small town of Senftenberg and is the biggest centre for children and young people in town. During the summer holidays in Brandenburg, week-long theatre and media camps for children aged 7 to 12 are arranged every year: it will be your task to support these camps with your creativity, fantasy and a little hand for children. Your ideas and ingenuity are required for the content, method and design implementation of the respective workshops. In the second part of the camp you will be able to further develop your manual and creative skills, since you will be working according to the sustainable principle of upcycling. This means that you will build something new out of old wooden pallets, in this case nice furniture for the outdoor area of the leisure centre. You can find ideas on how to create something like this on the following website: https://netzflutr.de/10-geniale-upcycling-ideen-aus-europaletten/. You will also be helping to renew a graffiti wall. In the first week of the camp there will be an intensive German language course in the afternoons (2 x 90 min. per day) in order for you to learn conversational German used in everyday situations as well as develop a better idea about the German language in general. There will be both beginners and advanced courses, which means that all language levels are welcome. If German is your first language, you will not have to pay the 300 € extra fee for the language course, and during the first week you will be supporting the international members of your group by acting as a German Language Mentor!
