SUMMARY:Microproject | Symposium ‘Wood Meets Stone’ 
DESCRIPTION:As part of the  symposium ‘Wood Meets Stone’\, six wood a
 rtists are inviting children to take part in a wide-ranging programme of h
 ands-on activities. Together\, they aim to give children the chance to try
  their hand at craftsmanship\, boost their sense of self-efficacy and inst
 il democratic values such as cooperation\, creativity and diversity. The c
 hildren will also learn to understand the importance of sustainability by 
 discovering how to use natural materials such as wood and stone responsibl
 y. The event will take place over the weekend of 19–20 September 2026 at
  the Jahnsdorf outdoor swimming pool and forms a child-friendly highlight 
 of the family festival. The activities are free of charge\, inclusive and 
 open to all children in the region.\nIn the Ore Mountains\, craft skills s
 uch as woodcarving\, stonemasonry and woodturning have a long cultural tra
 dition. However\, many children today grow up without any practical connec
 tion to these techniques. Everyday life is often characterised by the use 
 of digital media\, academic pressure and a lack of opportunities for artis
 tic and craft-based expression. Furthermore\, particularly in rural areas\
 , there is often a disconnect between traditional cultural values and mode
 rn lifestyles. The ‘Wood Meets Stone’ symposium offers a low-threshold
 \, cross-generational platform to playfully convey the cultural heritage o
 f (art)crafts through active\, hands-on activities\, to spark curiosity an
 d to enable participation – regardless of background\, education or fami
 ly circumstances.
