the KLAS building: the fence, the main door and windows were repainted,
which extends lifetime and aesthetic appearance of the building and increases
the protection of the KLAS premises.
Construction of a puppet stage: A wooden stage is built, which is high
enough to stand behind and perform with hand puppets. The stage can be
painted with colours and/or covered with fabric. The construction includes
minor decorations and the manufacture of props for plays. At the same
time a smaller group of children and elderly can make hand puppets from
papier mâché and fabric and/or prepare a (self-written) puppet stage play.
Tasks include making drafts, cutting and assembly of wooden boards and
colour design. Yet another group can practise and perform the stage play.
Working with fabric: In this group silk painting techniques are taught and
motifs for scarves and postcards designed and implemented. Printing of
T-shirts with self-made motifs or the school logo is also a suitable feature.
Tasks include the selection of motifs, introduction to the technique as well
as the tightening and painting of scarves.
International cooking: Cooking for all participants can take place in the
school kitchen using the home or regional recipes of the elderly. This can
also include snacks for project breaks. In addition to learning how to prepare
meals, adolescents can also learn how to serve meals and how to clear
the tables. Furthermore, the purchase, preparation and serving of beverages
and snacks for the breaks can be organised in the form of a school café.
Gardening: Old and young can work together and plant trees and flower
beds on the school or nursery premises or the school garden. Soil preparation,
compost collection, raised beds or the restoration/construction of
greenhouses are possible forms of gardening.
Puppet design: In Prague, puppets were made and painted on silk and
tiffany products handcrafted. The products were sold at a UNICEF stand
during a school function and the proceeds were donated to finance child
vaccinations in Africa.
Construction of sales stands: For the sale of (self-made) objects, wooden
tables can be sawn, edged, varnished or painted.
Playground assignments: Depending on the demand, a new construction
or the renovation of existing playgrounds can be of interest. This includes
ground preparations, assembly of playground devices, encasing in concrete
and/or polishing and painting of playground devices.
Sports facilities: Some areas can be excavated for a sandpit or a beach vol-
leyball court, then filled with sand and provided with markings, margins
etc. Larger areas possibly require prior preparation with a digger. Another
feature involves the setup of basketball equipment.
Wooden figures for the schoolyard fence: Fences on school or nursery pre-
mises can be decorated with wooden figures, which are designed, transferred
onto wood, cut out and painted beforehand. Motifs could relate to
local features of the town or the school.
