Permanent activity

Why do you celebrate?

Interactive programme

Discover the differences and similarities between festivities all over the world.

What’s on offer?

Why do we celebrate? And what are we exactly celebrating? Not everyone celebrates the same holidays, but we all celebrate! Discover the similarities and differences between celebrations around the world. The program is customized to the participants' ages. Preschoolers, for example, celebrate the birthday party of Kantjil the little deer. Groups 3 to 8 study different party objects, draw their own carnival costumes, and make party decorations using Chinese paper cutting. Afterwards, they can book the Frevo workshop, a cheerful carnival dance.
