💼 What the programme involves
The Pforzheim Youth Association are organising a 2-week long holiday games event for 260 children between the ages of 7 and 13, in the style of a play city called Pforzheim. The children s city is the playful portrayal of a real city. The children elect a city mayor, have their own currency, work in the job of their choice or enjoy the sport and cultural programme on offer. Your task, along with the 50 workers on site, is to organise and lead the children through individual activities (carpentry, painting, building etc). You ll also help out to prepare and to take down the children s city.
