"Come on tour" project: pupils discover their strengths through play
Opening on 7 May, 8.15 am, Culture and Congress Centre KRAFTVERKEHR
On Tuesday, 7 May at 8.15 a.m., Ralph Burghart, Mayor for Education, Youth, Social Affairs, Culture, Sport and Health, together with Angelika Hugel, Chairwoman of the Management Board of the Chemnitz Employment Agency, will officially open the "komm auf Tour" project at the KRAFTVERKEHR Culture and Congress Centre, Fraunhofer Straße 60. Representatives of the media are cordially invited to this event.
The four days of vocational orientation "komm auf Tour", a cooperation project between the City of Chemnitz, the Chemnitz Employment Agency and the Free State of Saxony, will take place from 7 to 10 May. Around 750 young people from the 7th and 8th grades of secondary schools in the city will playfully discover their strengths for their later choice of training or career on a 500 square metre adventure course.
Keyword "come on tour": "komm auf Tour" takes you on a fast-paced journey through six game stations: from the travel terminal to the time tunnel to the labyrinth and from the storm-free booth via the stage to the evaluation. Depending on their choice of task and solution, the pupils collect feedback in the form of various strengths and practise assessing themselves and others. At the end, the young people use so-called "strength cabinets" to discover which activities and occupational fields match their strengths and which internships they could try out. In addition to career guidance, life planning plays an important role in the project. The young people look at their life dreams, role models and opportunities: "How do I want to live later - what is possible and how?" By solving action-orientated tasks, they learn that they can choose between different options and make their own decisions.
