🏢 About the local organisation
The children’s town 'Sprottenhausen' is a holiday offer for children and youngsters and is organized by the Workers Welfare Organization AWO Bürgerzentrum Räucherei Kiel. In 'Sprottenhausen' the young participants will adopt the roles of adults and sense of civic participation what means, they will decide what happens in their “City”. You will construct a city in a central place with huts and tents, where the young citizens will work. When entering the city, they have to register, go to the job centre and work in a profession. They will also earn money which they can spend in leisure activities, services and products which will be offered by other citizens. The project aims to develop a deeper mutual understanding, an interest in cooperation and conflict resolution.
💼 What the programme involves
Assembly and dismantling of stands and other utilities (readiness to do physical work), supporting the children in their “professions and services” (shop, office, bakery, garden, pub, beauty-shop etc.), support during the meals.
During the seven days of children´s town your working hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., breaks included.
