Content

DE: Vom 22. Juli bis zum 2. August 2024 findet die Europäische Kinderstadt Magdeburg statt. Im Laufe der zwei Wochen entsteht im Amtsgarten der Europäischen Jugendbildungsstätte Magdeburg ein Stadtleben, das die teilnehmenden Kinder selbst gestalten und weiterentwickeln. In verschiedenen Berufen können sie ihre Talente testen und wirtschaftliche Verzahnung hautnah erleben. Spielerisch müssen sie sich dabei mit demokratischen Abstimmungsprozessen und Themen wie gesellschaftlichem Zusammenleben, Arbeit und Lohn, Selbst- und Mitbestimmung auseinandersetzen. Gleichzeitig erfahren sie, dass die Welt nicht überall gleich aussieht und funktioniert – dafür sorgen die Betreuer*innen aus ganz Deutschland und Europa. Diese Betreuer*innen wurden vorher in verschiedenen Schulungen vom Team der Europäischen Jugendbildungsstätte Magdeburg geschult.
In dieser Playlist können die Betreuer*innen ihre Erfahrungen in der Arbeit mit den Kindern teilen, interkulturelles Lernen reflektieren, die Kinderstadt evaluieren und Revue passieren lassen.

ENG: The European Children's City of Magdeburg takes place from June 22nd to August 2nd, 2024. Over the course of two weeks, city life develops in the official garden of the European Youth Education Center in Magdeburg, which the participating children shape and develop themselves. They can test their talents in various professions and experience economic integration up close. They have to playfully deal with democratic voting processes and topics such as social coexistence, work and wages, self-determination and co-determination. At the same time, they learn that the world doesn't look and work the same everywhere - the volunteer supervisors from all over Germany, Europe and the World make sure of that. These supervisors were previously trained in various training courses by the team at the European Youth Education Center in Magdeburg.
In this playlist, the supervisors can share their experiences in working with the children, reflect on intercultural learning, evaluate the children's town and review it.
