With enthusiasm in the bakery: kindergarten discovers craftsmanship

The daycare competition as a door opener for craft professions

26.07.2024 Neumarkt/Landkreis.

In Möning, a small district in the Neumarkt district in the Upper Palatinate, children of the St. Anton children's house recently actively participated in a nationwide competition, which deals intensively with the fascinations of the craft. The aim of the "Small Hands, Great Future" initiative is to convey the importance of craft professions in early childhood.

practical insights into the world of craft

As part of the competition, the kindergarten children visited a local bakery together with their teachers. This practical experience enables children to experience the various professions of craft directly. The direct examination of the craft promotes not only creativity, but also the children's interest in possible future professional fields. The children then designed a large poster, on which they recorded their experiences and impressions.

appreciation by the Chamber of Crafts

Gerhard Ulm, Vice President of the Chamber of Crafts Niederbayern-Oberpfalz, visited the young participants after their bakery visit and brought a pretzel breakfast. He praised the children's commitment and educators for the competition: "The children are with so much zeal and have the opportunity to get to know craft professions in a playful way". These experiences are not only valuable for the children themselves, but also for the further efforts, craft and education.

a competition with long -term effect

The daycare competition, which is already celebrating its twelfth edition this year, is organized by the Modernes Handwerk (AMH) campaign. Supported by various chambers of crafts and guilds, the initiative is happy about the enthusiasm of thousands of daycare children who are inspired by such actions to deal with craftsmanship. For the most creative contributions, a prize waves the opportunity to organize a festival or a project day around the topic of craft for the children and kindergarten.

The influence on the community

Such competitions are not only important for the individual support of the children. They also help to make the craft visible in society and to sensitize future generations to the numerous opportunities that offer craft professions. The close cooperation of kindergartens with craft businesses can have long -term positive effects for the entire community by not only training skilled workers, but also strengthening awareness of regional craftsmanship.
