Bocholt celebrates World Children's Day with a great program

After two years of corona-related alternative actions, World Children's Day will be held again this year on Friday, September 23, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., in the form of the popular Action Day on the grounds of St. Joseph's High School ("Kapu").

Dance, music, action and fashion

Many great activities such as movement and creative activities, a bouncy castle, bungee jumping and a wheel of fortune await the children on the grounds.

Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff is the patron of the event and opens the action for World Children's Day in Bocholt at 3 pm. A colorful stage program with musical contributions from the music school as well as various dance performances by the carnival society "BokaGe" and the children's dance group of the Albanian Dance accompany the event. As a highlight on sustainability, the AWO Family Center Holunderweg is planning a fashion show with fashion made from recycled materials.

Organizer

Together with various Bocholt institutions and associations, the World Children's Day campaign was developed as a highlight for children. Bocholt's family centers, day care centers, the Child Protection Association, the Family Education Center, the Music School, the Kapu, the Young Community, UNICEF, the City of Bocholt and others are involved.

Together for a child-friendly world

Under the motto "Together for children's rights!", the German Children's Fund and UNICEF Germany call on the federal, state and local governments as well as society as a whole to focus more consistently on children's rights in order to implement the children's rights enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and thus create a more child-friendly country.

"The day of action in Bocholt will make its contribution to drawing attention to the rights of children," say the organizers.
