Children's Forest (6 to 14 years)
10-15 o'clock

A permanent construction workshop is located in the forest. Here the
children get the opportunity to create their own form of living. With
boards, branches and other material present at the site, they can create all
sorts of buildings which need not to be taken down. Hammering, sawing,
knotting and other techniques will invite to find solutions for the building
planned. Tree-huts, connecting bridges, climbing-spots, hidings and any
thinkable and unthinkable construction will spring up. In the course of the
years the big children’s building wood will grow into a collection of
diverse childish inventions in which they can play to their hearts content,
change it and live in it. Every creation in the big children’s building wood
is open to everybody. Some constructions will keep, others will show their
shortcomings after a winter or storm. In a new season reconstruction thereof
may take place. In this way children will get unparalleled experiences which
are often impossible in the present urban environment. Experienced guidance
is present, but the children themselves must plan and execute their ideas.
They get the chance to test their solutions to really being able to realize
what they want to do. Where necessary they will learn to work as a team to
get a better result.

The children's forest is an ongoing project and it will be never the
same. In the beginning many places are available. In the coming years we
hope this page will be full of many constructions of many different
children.
In 2006 children of the local primary school will build the first buildings
and constructions. They are working together with the artist from the
artist-in-residence program 2005-2006. These artists are coming from
different parts of the world and bring their own vision on building, living,
playing and creating with them. It will make the children's forest into a
real international building place.
