Be careful - children!

Fancy-free children- and youth work

Yes, just very few know that it exists although it is part of the regular programme of the FABRIK since its foundation:
The fancy-free and creative leisure work for kids and teenagers of the district Altona/Ottensen.

Apart from cultural work it the most important aim of the FABRIK is to support creativity, communication, the initiative of one`s own and self-confidence of its young visitors.
Mondays to Fridays from 12 p.m. to 18 p.m. children and teenagers in the immediate vicinity of the FABRIK can meet each other.

There they find a wide range of all sorts of activities: painting, creating something, woodworking, pottery, cooking and baking, sports, games, trips, parties and much more. There isn't any obligation to participate. However, everybody can if he/she wants join in according to his/her wishes and possibilities without any pressure to perform, but always with professional advice and care.

Three times a week there is a homework help and since 1983 on an area directly behind the FABRIK there is a kind of farm with a big garden which shall give large town children a better and practical understanding of nature during the summer months.
All this doesn't cost anything.

It is used by approximately 70 to 150 regular visitors and sporadic guests, groups and classes who like to take up the various creative activities as enrichment and expansion of their own offers have the possibility to make an appointment by telephone.

Teenagers and adults, in addition, have the working groups of the FABRIK at their disposal:
Pottery, the black-and-white and colour photo group, the internet café in the tea-room as well as the working group [I:si] TV (children make television for children).

Besides the FABRIK regularly organises exhibitions with photos of well-known as well as unknown international photographers for years, which take place since 1997 in the museum Altona.
