Running a summer holiday program for children

During the summer holidays, the youth council of Feldkirch organizes a big playground for children from 6-12 years old who will create their own town called "KleinFeldkirch". In this town there will be town's own parliament and institutions like a bakery, a hairdresser, a restaurant, a bank, etc.

The international volunteer group will help to run this big playground. It will be an advantage if volunteers have creative or technical skills. Last time "KleinFeldkirch" was a big success; the children had a lot of fun. On average, 150 children per day participated in "KleinFeldkirch". Volunteers should be ready to lead one of the workshops or institutions on their own and prepare their own ideas. Because of the presence of the children, work can be quite turbulent sometimes. Volunteers should be prepared to work long hours and should like to be around children a lot.
