School beginner malaction: creative tickets and a visit to the zoo!

The Osnabrück (VOS) traffic community annually promotes the creativity of beginners through a special painting that potentially has a positive influence on the community. In a creative competition, more than 2,100 first graders design their own parenting tickets, which not only increases the anticipation for the beginning of school, but also strengthens the cohesion in the region.

The importance of painting for the community

This initiative has been an integral part of the VOS calendar for many years. It connects the school beginners from the city and district of Osnabrück by presenting their works of art and at the same time fulfilling a practical function: the parents are given the opportunity to accompany their children on the bus free of charge in the first two school weeks. This not only promotes mobility, but also the safety of the first graders on their way to school.

creativity in the sign of the European Football Championship

This year the painting competition was under the motto of the European Football Championship, which offered a strong creative inspiration. Über 61 Schulen nahmen daran teil, und die Teilnehmer wurden dazu angeregt, ihre Freude am Sport in kunstvollen Bildern auszudrücken. "We got great and creative ticket pictures again," said Andrea Haspecker from the VOS, who coordinates the projects. The winner decisions were made on the basis of a vote on social media, which further strengthens the commitment in the community.

The selection of the winners and their reward

The winners came from various primary schools, including the Borgloh primary school and the elementary school St. Martin in Hagen a.T.W. These classes received a special reward: a free visit to zoo including a tour, donated by the VOS. This not only represents recognition for the performance of the students, but also attracts additional attention to the art initiative and the local culture.

practical information for the parents

The tickets that correspond to the creatively designed pictures are handed over to the parents of the new first graders of the summer semester 2024 on the day of school. In the first two weeks from August 5th to 16th, you have the opportunity to accompany your children without any additional costs to go to school. This makes it easier for new families to get started with everyday school life and promote family support that is often very important in the early days.

The website of the Osnabrück transport company is available for further information. The campaign is an example of how local initiatives can contribute to strengthening the sense of community while at the same time offering practical solutions for families in the region.
