Children’s Day „The Fairy Godmother“
Date: June14^th 2023, 9:00 – 12:00 hrs at the Old Town Hall

What is „The Fairy Godmother“?
The Fairy Godmother project is a campaign initiated by Stadtmarketing Weiden and its project partners aimed at promoting a child-friendly Weiden. Following the example of other cities like Coburg or Chemnitz, the partners of The Fairy Godmother project, i.e. businesses and institutions all over Weiden, will be identified by stickers bearing the „Fairy Godmother“ emblem. All businesses bearing the „Fairy Godmother“ emblem guarantee to make shopping with children a pleasant experience for children and to donate part of their proceeds from your shopping for aiding children in need. And for children who play a little hard and bump their knees, all participants of the „Fairy Godmother“ project will have band aids and consolation candy handy to take care of those little scrapes and scratches. Whenever a child gets lost in the course of a stressful shopping day, parents may safely rely on being informed promptly. Even a call home or to a friend’s residence will help. With the slogan „The Fairy Godmother Project – Campaign for a Child-Friendly Weiden“, Stadtmarketing Weiden wants to give children a sense of safety and protection.

On June 14th 2024 Stadtmarketing Weiden will stage a potpourri program designed to introduce children to the project. The goal of this campaign day is to familiarize children with the logo and the tasks of the „Fairy Godmother“ campaign. Children will also get to meet „emergency helpers“ like the police or the fire department, to help them lose their fears and make them realize that in emergencies help is only a phone call away.

All elementary school children, preschool and kindergarten children, daycare children, and all boys and girls interested in showing up with their parents are cordially invited to come and joins us for the campaign day. They will get to see many interesting things and meet many interesting people, like police officers in their police car, and medics of the Bavarian Red Cross with their ambulance vehicle who will show the children how to apply band aids and medical dressings. The fire department will also be there in their big red fire engine, demonstrating the fire extinguishing equipment and allowing the children to play games with the water hoses. The Government Desaster Relief Organization will also be there and admit interested children to investigate the inside of their technical vehicle.
