Children plan their own flowering meadow

Party on 1 June, 3 pm, 1st Montessori Children's House, Ernst-Enge-Straße 4

On Thursday, 1 June, from 3 p.m., the children of the 1st Montessori Children's House, Ernst-Enge-Straße 4, will start planning a flowering meadow at a festival. Just in time for International Children's Day, another children's suggestion will be put into practice in the city of Chemnitz as part of the federal programme "Future Package for Culture, Exercise and Health".

Representatives of the media have also been invited.

The girls and boys at the daycare centre have been planning their children's party with the teachers for months. This is the starting signal for a flowering meadow. The festival will include jumping, playing, crafting and tinkering around this theme. Ute Spindler, the City of Chemnitz's Children and Youth Officer, will be on site with her children's consultation hour and will develop the idea of the flowering meadow with the youngsters.
