Big action day for children on the occasion of World Children's Day

Tomorrow, Friday 22 September, on the occasion of this year's World Children's Day, many interesting activities will take place on the grounds of the St. Josef Grammar School ("Kapu", Hemdener Weg) from 3-6 pm. All interested children and families from Bocholt are invited.

On the grounds, many great hands-on stations, movement and creative activities, a bouncy castle, bungee jumping and a wheel of fortune await the children. Admission is free and all activities are free of charge.

Together with various Bocholt institutions and associations, this event, which has been popular for years, is organised as a highlight for children on World Children's Day.

After the opening by deputy mayor Elisabeth Kroesen and headmaster Klaus Schepp, a colourful programme will start. Musical contributions from the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School, the children's musical and the mini dance group of the BokaGe can be seen on a stage.

The action day at the "Kapu" is also the start and part of the intercultural week in Bocholt(www.bocholt.de/Interkulturellewoche), which invites people to many interesting events from 22 to 29 September and aims to promote the coexistence of different cultures. The patrons Annette Grümer-Weyers and Zeyneb Mohammady will speak opening words.

About World Children's Day

Under the motto of this year's World Children's Day "Every Child Needs a Future!", the German Children's Fund and UNICEF Germany call on the federal, state and local governments as well as society as a whole to show stronger political commitment to a just and livable future for young people, especially against the background of current conflicts and their consequences (Ukraine war, climate change and pandemic). "No child should be left behind!" is the demand.

The day of action in Bocholt is intended to make its contribution to drawing attention to the rights of children.
