The first week you will make a Summer Camp for young asylumseekers at Center Griksbov. You will give the young refugees a break from the life with worries and insecurity and arrange a Summer Camp with different activities. You will use the talent in the group to make different workshops. It might be New Circus, dancing, singing and drumming, juggling and parading, practice to walk on stilts or making costumes. You can put together a small parade to perform it at the Festival of Gilleleje or the Pop Up Concerts before the festival. You can also arrange sport activities such as soccer, wollyball, basketball, rolerscating, games or bikerides. Evening might call for a campfire, marshmellows, guitar and pancakes. The summer camp will depend on the talents in the group. If you have special skills for the Summer Camp please let us know ahead of time.
