Promotion of creativity and social skills

The holiday programs in Spittal are part of a larger trend that focuses on promoting creativity and social skills in children. The Kinderland Foundation also plays a role here, which offers pedagogically supervised holiday offers for children and young people with and without migration and escape experience. The foundation creates stimulating learning environments that promote important skills. The program phase currently has the title "Words as the key to the world" and includes numerous model projects that have been started since 2019.

In these programs, the focus is on reading and orthography competence of primary school children. The offers aim to expand the reading and writing skills as well as the understanding of text and the expression capacity of the children in a creative and playful way. The social coexistence and teamwork of the children are also strengthened through activities such as writing their own books, writing comics and short stories as well as the development of plays.

Overall, the programs in Spittal not only offer fun and creative development, but also a valuable promotion of important skills that children can support on their future life.
