Strength, speed and coordination: At the ‘Mobility’ educational camp organised by the Johanneum Children’s and Youth Foundation, young people had the chance to train with Max Heß, the triple jumper from Chemnitz, on Tuesday. He showed them athletics exercises which they were able to try out straight away.
The six-day educational camp at the Küchwald school camp combines learning, physical activity and shared experiences. The programme includes visits to the Saxon State Parliament, the Transport Museum, the park railway and the CVAG tram depot, amongst other things.
