Snapsting for Children
Borgvold, 22-28 June 2015
WHAT is Snapsting?
A few hundred years ago, Viborg was Denmark's annual centre for trade, knowledge exchange, cultural interaction and political debate. It was a money market where all trade in land and property in Jutland was concluded; a news exchange where politics was debated, knowledge was disseminated and rumours spread; and a place full of culture, entertainment and folk life. A tradition that Viborg has recreated on modern terms. Snapsting 2015 will be a place where people meet, where they talk and create community, where they party, and where politics and culture are discussed. It is a place where you not only experience culture as a spectator, but also become a co-creator of it through your active participation.
WHAT is Snapsting for Children at Borgvold?
A lot of creative activities for children will gather at Borgvold throughout week 26. Snapting for Children will be a big playground with music, activities and workshops based on children's play, games and mutual learning. We will help each other put the history of Snapsting and Viborg into a children's perspective - recreating the fun and market atmosphere of the past in a new setting.
Our dream is that through Snapsting for Children, children from all over Viborg Municipality become aware of and proud of our own city and region's history. Again this year, the day will start with sing-alongs from the stage of Aarhus Jazz Orchestra and then you can sign up for a number of free workshops - in music, storytelling, animation, visual arts and much more. There will be activities for all age groups, from the very youngest nursery and day-care children to kindergarten, primary and middle school.
New this year, the party continues for families after the institutions have gone home. From Monday to Thursday, there will be lots of fun and entertainment until 8pm - pass the word to all parents!
On behalf of the children's culture in Viborg, we hope to see a lot of children and adults in week 26 at Borgvold!
