The first round of the „Holiday educational-and-professional project for active people” has started

The first round of the „Holiday educational-and-professional project for active people” started today in our city. Małgorzata Mańka-Szulik, the Mayor of Zabrze met with camp children, thus initiating the project. Children participating in the classes will have fun, explore Zabrze and learn about the specifics of various professions for ten days. The project is carried out as part of the „City as Space for Development” task financed from the Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the years 2014-2021.

Day camp coordinated by the Family Development Centre is an example that even staying in the city during the holidays we do not have to be bored. Children who take part in the camp will certainly spend their time in an interesting and active way. The program includes trips to attractive places, getting to know professions in the places where they are actually performed, in conditions similar to those on a daily basis, as well as learning entrepreneurship.

During the day camp, the children, on the occasion of getting to know the chosen profession, will earn „kotloki”. With the „money” earned they will be able to buy selected goods in the shop. They will also be able to save money and buy some more valuable goods from the shop at the end of the camp. There will also be plenty of sports-and-physical activities, integration games and plays, as well as walks and outdoor activities.

In total 160 children will take part in two camps. The main meeting place is the Chain Stitch Bath of the Queen Louise Adit. The second round will start on the 31st of July.
