Snapsting for Children
Sidste uge i juni afholdes ’Snapsting’ i Viborg. En kæmpe fest for hele byen. I 2014 fik børnene deres helt eget ’Snapsting for Børn’, udviklet af Institut for Børnekultur, med masser af aktiviteter og tilbud til daginstitutioner, skoler og familier. Sidste år deltog mere end 8.000 børn og voksne i de mange forskellige tilbud, som spænder fra kreative workshops til koncerter og fælles parade. I år ser vi frem til endnu en spektakulær uge med kreativitet, sjov og læring – read more about Snapsting here.

Snapsting for Children takes place in week 25, 19-24 June 2017.

Creative workshops at Borgvold
Borgvold Park is buzzing all week with play, life and learning. Here, children from 0 to 14 years of age have the opportunity to immerse themselves and physically express themselves through the many workshops and events. Day care centres and schools can register free of charge for a wide range of creative workshops in areas such as music, storytelling, animation, visual arts, team building and much more. The activities are suitable for all audiences, from the youngest nursery and day-care children to kindergarten, primary and middle schools. There are also many activities that do not require prior registration - the so-called 'Walk-in-Workshops'.

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, where people meet, talk and create community, celebrate and discuss politics and culture. 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.

Who is behind
Snapsting for Børn arrangeres i samarbejde med Institut for Børnekultur, Kulturskolen og Viborg Bibliotekerne og modtager økonomisk støtte fra Viborg Kommune.
