Flintbeker youth beautifies the puddle” with colorful wall motifs!

The Youth House in Flintbek, affectionately known as the “Puddle”, was really busy during the summer holidays. A colorful holiday fun program was put together here to banish boredom. Painting and crafting together was on the agenda, and the young participants designed a wall in the cafeteria with motifs that reflect parts of their community. Guy Freese, the director of the “Puddle”, explained that the boring white wall will now be embellished with an exciting work of art that is already showing its first colorful accents.

The creative atmosphere made it easy for the young people to bring their ideas, dreams and fears into the design. A look at the works reveals: There are unicorns and tanks on the wall, symbols of fantasy and reality that occupy many children's minds. In particular, Nisa and Mia, two ten-year-old girls, were enthusiastic about the project and expressed how much fun they had with the project.

Wish for more offers

14-year-old Sarah Weidtkamp, ​​chairwoman of Flintbek's youth advisory board, also pitched in by assembling new furniture for a room. She clearly expressed her desire for further activities during the holidays, as many children stay at home. “I would like to see more leisure activities, especially in the new residential areas,” said Weidtkamp.

And while the puddle offers a creative space, the question arises as to how else one can make the summer holidays meaningful. Six weeks without a vacation in a faraway place can seem like a long time. It's good to know that there are numerous ideas for spending time sensibly with friends and family. This creates opportunities to be active together.

Activities for the summer holidays

Some exciting suggestions to keep teenagers busy during the summer holidays could include:

• Eine Film-Marathon-Nacht mit einem Thema, wie „80er Jahre“ oder „Science-Fiction“, sorgt für Unterhaltung.
• Ein Ausflug in den Kletterwald bietet spannende Herausforderungen in den Bäumen.
• Wer es lieber kreativ mag, kann sich an einem eigenen Projekt wie einem Mini-Festival oder einem Podcast versuchen.
• Eine Mottoparty bringt Freude und hebt die Stimmung heftig an.
• Ein gemeinsamer Campingausflug auf eine Wiese der Nachbarschaft sorgt für ein besonderes Erlebnis.

If the weather is good, water games or a trip to the swimming pool are also very popular. You can organize a water fight with friends - a hit for big and small jokers! What all activities have in common is the desire to keep up with the times and enjoy the summer holidays to the fullest. This can also be put into practice through smaller projects such as walking dogs or washing cars, for a fee of course.

How the “puddle” in Flintbek will continue to develop remains exciting, but the enthusiasm of the children and young people shows that there is no lack of creative ideas.
