Visitors from Jenaer Nahverkehr
The children at the kindergarten had visitors from the Jena bus and tram service Jenaer Nahverkehr. The children received a donation of painting materials and a voucher to be used in one of the local shopping centres. The contact with the kindergarten developed from an art exhibition by a member of staff at the kindergarten who produced drawings of people on the local buses. The partnership developed so that the children also had an opportunity to develop works of art using found materials donated by the engineers who keep the buses and trams running. The children were able with their free spirt use the materials to produce work which was the impetus for a larger project at the bus depot. The children produced work using the forms of wheels, cogs and chains. Many of the children and families attended the day at the depot. Their work can now be viewed traveling around Jena for a month on various buses and trams.
