Barvita prihodnost: Otroci oblikujejo svoje mesto v Ottopiji!

A look at the children's city Ottopia in Magdeburg

V središču Magdeburga se odvija edinstven koncept, ki otrokom in mladostnikom daje priložnost, da prevzamejo vloge državljanov, odločitve in ustvarjalne misli. Otroško mesto Ottopia je odprlo svoja vrata in bo mesto 2. avgusta, kjer mladina aktivno usmerja bogastvo lastnega mesta. This is not just a game, but a profound learning environment in which democratic processes and social responsibility are in the foreground.

The basis of the children's city: participation and creativity

In Ottopia, the children are the main actors. You design your city independently and decide on all important aspects of life there. By roling in over 40 different professions, young citizens learn how important teamwork and creative problem solutions are. Igralne izkušnje vam omogočajo, da se z izzivi spopadate na nekonvencionalen način, na primer s temami, kot so podnebne spremembe in družbene krize. Here you can make mistakes - an essential component of learning that is often neglected in conventional school education.

international cooperation promotes diversity

An outstanding feature of the children's city Ottopia is internationality. The European Youth Education Center Magdeburg (EJBM) strives to bring students from different countries together. In 2022, the team worked with volunteers from over 20 countries and with children from Poland and France. This cultural diversity not only enriches the project, but also promotes understanding of different ways of life and approaches.

democratic processes in a playful learning

The children in Ottopia ask questions that are crucial for living together in a community. They discuss how your city should be organized, which services are needed and how justice can look like in working life. Možnost eksperimentiranja in učenja v varnem okolju je neprecenljiva in spodbuja globoko razumevanje demokratičnih vrednot in civilnega angažmaja.

Children's Council: Voice of the future

The meaning for the future

The Kinderstadt Ottopia project is much more than a temporary leisure offer; It offers a platform for the development of democratic values and intercultural skills. At a time when empathy and diversity are becoming increasingly relevant, Ottopia laid the foundation for future -oriented citizens. Tukaj otroci doživljajo, kako pomembno je aktivno sodelovati pri oblikovanju okolice in slišati glasove drugih - sposobnost, ki je bistvena v globaliziranem svetu.
