Celebrating double childhood joy with Kater Salabim as we ring in the new year 2025
In the heart of Solingen, an exciting new initiative is taking shape. The "Salabim and Friends" association, a local community group dedicated to children's activities, is organising a series of story readings featuring beloved picture book characters and literary heroes.
These engaging sessions are designed to promote social skills among children, with a focus on interaction, learning, and fun. The reading team includes pedagogue Christiane Windrath, former head of the youth house, and Sandra Kratz, a Dip.-Psychologist at the municipal clinic.
The story readings are more than just a simple reading session. They incorporate music, games, and movement activities, ensuring that the children are actively engaged and learning in a fun and interactive way.
The association is extending an invitation to kindergartens and primary schools in Solingen to participate in these story readings. For those interested, Claudia Elsner-Overberg, Dipl-Bibliothekarin and referent for movement-oriented and intercultural reading promotion, can be contacted at 0170 / 493 8440 to arrange reading sessions at local facilities such as primary schools and daycare centers.
Trained reading patrons are occasionally included if other reading languages are desired, making these sessions accessible to a wider audience. The story readings are being organised by the "Salabim and Friends" association, and are a free service, made possible by a generous donation from the Walbusch Youth Foundation.
So, if you're looking for a fun and educational activity for your child, look no further. The story readings can be booked immediately, and your child will be in capable hands with the experienced pedagogues leading the sessions. For more precise information on current members and specific activities, it's best to contact the association directly through local Solingen community centers or their official social media channels if available.
- The "Salabim and Friends" association, aside from children's activities, also offers home-and-garden workshops aimed at improving parenting skills and creating a nurturing environment for children, focusing on learning and lifestyle modifications.
- In addition to their story readings, the "Salabim and Friends" association plans to introduce online education-and-self-development courses for parents, helping them foster their child's growth and learning through interactive activities and resources.
