## Description

Kinder-Zirkus-Attraktionen is a cooperation project between the Social Department (City Youth Welfare Office / holiday activities), Kreisjugendring München-Stadt, Spiellandschaft Stadt e. V., Referat für Bildung und Sport, Sportamt-Freizeitsport, PA / Spielen in der Stadt e. V., Zirkus TRAU DICH and ECHO e. V.

Over 600 all-day supervised holiday places and numerous open activities are available to children and young people in this city in the summer. Children and young people rehearse a gala performance within a week with the help of trained supervisors and a qualified circus.

The registration and organisation of "Circus Simsala" is handled by the holiday activities department.

Preferential booking for children with disabilities and support needs

The aim of our inclusion concept is to avoid any form of exclusion and to give all children and young people the opportunity to participate, regardless of their gender, cultural and social background or disability.

If your child requires support or has a special need, you can give them priority enrolment.

In order to provide individual support during the programme, we require information about the desired programme, the need for support, the age and brief and meaningful information about the child's/young person's developmental stage and behaviour in order to make a booking by email. We will work with you to find the right programme through a consultation.

Even if not all holiday destinations are barrier-free, we try to respond to individual needs and make participation possible.

The City Youth Welfare Office has set itself the task of organising its offers in such a way that they are equally accessible and usable for all children and young people.

## Questions and Answers

### **Preliminary and general information**

**Who can take part in Zirkus Simsala workshops?**

All children and young people from the age of six who have their main residence in the Munich city area (postcode 80\*\*\* - 81\*\*\*).  


**Can my child take part in a circus workshop several times a year?**

You are welcome to register your child for several workshops.  


**Where can I get the programme booklet for the holiday camps and children's circus attractions?**

From December, the brochures will be distributed in all Munich schools and are also available at the city information centre in the town hall as well as in many city libraries and youth leisure centres. You can also download the brochure as a PDF on this page.  


**What workshops are there?**

Circus Simsala offers stilt acrobatics, magic, unicycle, theatre moderation, clowns, rope skipping, running ball, mini tampolin, tightrope walking and acrobatics as workshops.  


**How many children can take part?**

As a rule, between ten and 14 children can take part in each workshop.

### **Registration procedure and costs**

**How do I register my child for a workshop?**

You can only register your child for a workshop by drawing lots. Places are allocated by drawing lots.

You have the option of registering your child for one or more workshops by drawing lots. If your child wins the lottery, he or she will be allocated a place in the workshop. If they are not drawn, they will be placed on the waiting list for the desired workshop in the order in which they were drawn. In any case, you will be informed after the draw whether your child has been allocated a place on the workshop or the waiting list.

  
**In which cases can I give my child priority registration?**

If your child/young person has increased support needs. For example, if your child has a physical or mental impairment or shows behavioural problems that require more or special care? In this case, please contact us by e-mail or telephone. In a counselling session, we will find a leisure activity that is individually tailored to your child's needs. The enrolment period is before the official pre-booking date. Please refer to the programme booklet for the preferred booking period.

**What costs will I incur?**

The participation fee for a circus workshop is 95 euros. If you receive benefits, the participation fee can be reduced to 17.50 euros. If you are on a low/medium income, the participation fee is 42 euros.  
 If a subsidy is granted for those on benefits, no reduction for siblings is possible.  


**Are reductions possible if I have several siblings taking part in the trips?**

If several children from one family are taking part in a holiday camp, Circus Simsala or a workshop, the younger sibling can receive a 10 per cent discount and each additional child a 20 per cent discount on the participation fee. Please complete the registration form accordingly.

**How can I withdraw from the workshop?**

Cancellations must always be made in writing! The cancellation fees can be found in our conditions of participation in the programme booklet.

### **Programme of the children's circus attraction**

**How will my child be catered for?**

The children will be provided with a warm lunch with salad and fruit by a caterer on site. Drinks are also provided.  


**Is there a vegetarian or pork-free option?**

There is always a vegetarian option to choose from.  


**When and how is the journey to the venue organised?**

The children and young people can be brought to and collected from the venue by you or, with written consent, they can come and go home on their own.

In addition, we offer two collection points at transport hubs in Munich (Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof) where children can be handed over to our teams. From there, the collected group will travel to the event location together with the carers.

IMPORTANT: Please send us the completed "collection point form" before the start of the workshop week so that we know where your child will be taken and when.  


**What does my child need to take with them on the trip?**

Please refer to the information sheet or the separate packing list that you will receive with the registration confirmation.  


**Will I be informed in the event of my child's illness or accident?**

The team leader will contact the parents immediately by telephone in the event of illness or accident. For this reason, it is essential that you can be reached by telephone by our team at all times!  


**Is it possible for the childcare team to contact the Youth Welfare Office in case of an emergency or uncertainty?**

A full-time pedagogical specialist from the City Youth Welfare Office is on call 24 hours a day during the entire leisure time. This person can be contacted by the childcare team around the clock.

  
**What happens if my child doesn't feel well?**

The City Youth Welfare Office employs carers who help to ensure that children and young people have a varied and relaxing holiday. They look after the children individually, as far as this is possible within the holiday community, and contact the parents in the event of complications.  
 As a last resort, we unfortunately have to send children and young people home if they are unable to fit in with the group or significantly disrupt the community. Parents will be contacted in advance and involved in what is happening on site. Parents or their authorised representatives must be contactable by the Youth Welfare Office during the leisure time and are obliged to pick up their children in such cases.
