Residential and Professional Endeavors in Wuppertal's Children's Compound
Get ready to dive into a collaborative learning adventure! The Catholic Youth Community (KjG) in the Cologne Diocesan Association is organizing an event titled "The Young Republic." This exciting extravaganza is designed to cultivate an understanding of democracy and promote social connections among the pint-sized participants.
In the heart of this mini-metropolis, known as the Children's City, young minds can take on countless roles in various businesses, such as bakeries, tax offices, and newspapers. They even make decisions that shape the city's society, including setting tax policies and witnessing the ripple effects on the city's life.
As Carolin Boot, a key player in the Children's City project leadership, declares, "The Children's City offers a chance for experimentation, free from societal pressures or prejudices, allowing little ones to figure out what they truly enjoy." The city boasts its unique currency, rules, and constitution, all followed by the children.
Annette Berg, the Deputy Mayor of the City of Wuppertal for Social Affairs, Youth, Schools, and Integration, will grace the event as its patron. Various political heavyweights, such as city, district, and state officials, along with societal and religious leaders, will visit the Children's City. The young citizens will have a chance to converse with these esteemed individuals, posing questions about topics like child participation or environmental protection. Over 100 well-trained volunteers will aid the young participants. According to a confident Carolin Boot, "Without our fantastic volunteers, such a project would be unattainable."

The participation fee for this enriching experience ranges from €60 to €160, depending upon your willingness and ability to pay. Children can choose between staying in the Children's City for the entire duration of the event or going home every evening.
Remember, registration is only available for the full week. To be eligible for this incredible learning experience, children must be members of the KjG in the Cologne Diocesan Association or residents of Wuppertal. The Young Republic will take place from October 19 to 24.

In the meantime, keep in mind that the most exciting learning experiences happen when kids take the driver's seat!
Participants of the event "The Young Republic" will engage in a week-long learning adventure, focusing on education-and-self-development and personal-growth through roles in businesses, decision-making, and discussions with political leaders. This democratic learning experience, taking place from October 19 to 24 in the Children's City, provides a unique environment for young minds to explore and experiment, promoting their personal growth and understanding of society.
