This creates an age-appropriate learning experience full of children’s laughter and space for curiosity.

The event venue is St. Johannis Church Göttingen. The community describes St. Johannis as a cultural church with space for exhibitions, dance, music theater, and drama. For families, this creates a special setting where sound, space, and atmosphere interact, making the experience even more impressive.
