Informing the individual about the following details:

In the quaint town of Batenbrock, the Querbeet Villa has become a vibrant hub for children from Siemens Street 20-28. The social pedagogue and director of the Villa, Heike Urban, has organised a unique project in collaboration with the Nikolaus-Groß School. This project, based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, aimed to spark curiosity and enthusiasm among the participating children about their rights.

During the last week of the summer holidays, fourteen children delved into the topic, exploring their rights and creating sculptures to represent them. Thalia's sculpture included a jump rope, symbolising the right to play and age-appropriate active participation, while Alara's sculpture showcased a pillow, signifying the right to rest and leisure.

Heike Urban considers this project a labour of love and hopes that young people have access to art and culture. She emphasises that everyone, not just children from Siemens Street, is welcome at the Querbeet Villa. The Villa serves as a meeting point where open youth work provides a creative and playful approach beyond the purely academic.

The official exhibition of the children's artwork took place at the Querbeet Villa on August 26. During the event, the children presented their artwork to relatives, acquaintances, and friends. Statements like "That's none of your business!" and "I am a work of art!" were used by the children to reflect their rights and help them understand and express their rights better.

Heike Urban did not specify any new children's rights or sculptures created in the interview. However, she emphasised the artistic approach to the children's rights topic as a powerful tool that sparks curiosity and enthusiasm. The children's sculptures, now on display at the Querbeet Villa, serve as a testament to their creative exploration of their rights and the impact of this unique project.
