Candle making at the youth center Stadtbaumgarten

Candle making in the youth center Stadtbaumgarten is one of the biggest events of this kind. The popular Advent custom takes place this year from November 26 to December 18.

For many children and adults in Chur, a visit to the candle-drawing workshop at the Stadtbaumgarten Youth Center is part of the Advent season and has become a traditional meeting place for generations. A team of motivated young people of high school age provides support and introduces inexperienced people to the art of candle making. The lovingly designed decoration as well as the inviting offer at the meeting bar additionally contribute to the special pre-Christmas atmosphere.

For the children and youth work of the city of Chur, the annual candle-drawing event serves several purposes at once. The young people from Chur, who are employed as helpers, have the opportunity to gain their first experience in the working world. In the process, they acquire skills and abilities that will help them later on in their apprenticeships and careers, and they earn some pocket money on the side. In addition, visitors, especially children and parents, get to know the youth center. In conversation with the staff, they learn more about the wide range of services offered by the Children's and Youth Work Chur and how it works. The proceeds of the candle-drawing will be used entirely for projects and activities for young people and children.

The candle-drawing is open from 26 November to 18 December, on Wednesday from 13.30 to 19.00, on Friday from 16.00 to 20.00 and on Saturday and Sunday from 12.00 to 18.00 o'clock.

The youth of Chur is looking forward to many visitors in their youth center! If you have any questions, the team of the children and youth work will be happy to answer them (Tel. 081 254 56 01 / jugendarbeit@chur.ch).
