the Aktioun Bambësch brings together its former animators for its 50th anniversary
On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Aktioun Bambësch wishes to organize a great day which would bring together the former animators who at one time pushed the doors of Capel.
It will be 50 years this year that he accompanies the inhabitants of the capital and in particular their children. In 1973, the Center for educational and leisure activities (Capel) of the foyers scolaire department of the City of Luxembourg created the Aktioun Bambësch. This leisure program, offered free of charge, has since enabled children residing in Luxembourg to gather around numerous activities. These meetings, which have become essential for certain years, correspond to school holidays: one week at Easter, four weeks during the summer holidays and one week at Christmas.
To accommodate children as well as possible, the Aktioun Bambësch has set up extracurricular supervision which aims to be as playful as possible. This consists of different activities that have the awakening of children as well as their creativity while providing them with new knowledge. While the program is developed throughout the year by teachers and multidisciplinary teams from the foyers scolaire service, the young people themselves are involved in the reflection. In order to stick as best as possible to their interests, the choice of activities is always made with them.
Framing at the center of attention
But the focus is also on the supervisors. On the front line, the animators are essential elements of the Aktioun Bambësch. Faced with a particular public, and not always easy to please, they must ensure, season after season, the smooth running of activities. To achieve this, the recipe is as simple to explain as it is complex to apply: use your imagination and tap into your individual commitment to best support the participants.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, on April 26, Capel wants to put them at the center of the festivities. This close collaboration between the different actors has always been at the heart of the success of Aktioun Bambësch. It is therefore not surprising to see that the same principles have been retained for this anniversary. Hundreds of animators have been accompanied, over the years, the history of Capel. The latter thus wishes to find as many as possible to associate them and launch a major call for participation.
rekindle memories
Each session of the Aktioun Bambësch has a highlight which takes the form of a theater performance. The latter, very popular with children, is staged by student animators who draw inspiration from books, true stories or anecdotes from life to produce little instructive comedies. The great 50th anniversary celebration will be no exception to the rule and will offer a similar show bringing together all the former animators who agree to participate. A great way to renew ties and to evoke memories of old fighters while discovering the path taken since by Capel.
The day can also highlight the philosophy and values of the center through an action in which everyone can participate in their own way. Arranger of a set of shows, presents the artistic diversity and testifies to the richness of the history of the animators: it is a concentrate of everything that has made the Aktioun Bambësch for five decades that the teaching team wishes to highlight.
Any person concerned and interested in participating, depositing or otherwise, in the anniversary is invited to contact Capel by e-mail ([email protected]) or by telephone on 4796 2442; from Monday to Friday.
