Playway for children in Gunzenhausen: A day full of fun!

Birkenweg, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Deutschland - In Gunzenhausen, an exciting event for all small adventurers is planned on July 18, 2025. From 2 to 6 p.m., Birkenweg between Breslauer Straße and Von-der-Borch-Straße becomes a temporary playground. As already reported, the vehicle traffic is closed during the event to offer the children a safe space for playing. This initiative is committed to leisure, playing and cultural participation for the right of children, as stated in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. The district youth ring in Middle Franconia coordinates the project, while the district youth ring Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen acts as a local organizer, supported by the Evangelical Youth in the Deanery Gunzenhausen and the city of Gunzenhausen.

But what does it mean to attend such events? A simple but impressive concept: children can bring their own toys, be it chalk, balls or scooters, and enjoy a hands -on program and free playing opportunities. Participation in this event is free of charge and does not require registration. And the best thing about it: a barrier -free and accessible range of games is provided here, so that every child who lives in Gunzenhausen and the surrounding area has the opportunity to become part of this special in the afternoon.

right to play and cultural participation

The right of children on leisure and play is not just a nice idea, but a clearly defined right in the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. According to Kinderrechtskurvition.info , every child is entitled to calm, leisure and age-appropriate leisure activity. Article 31 paragraph 1 explicitly refers to freedom to participate in cultural and artistic life, and Article 31 paragraph 2 obliges all contracting states to create suitable options for this. Parents also have a responsibility to enable their children these freedom.

The implementation of these rights in Germany mainly takes care of the parents, while state-supported measures ensure that children receive the necessary opportunities for relaxation and leisure activity, as regulated by Section 11 (3) SGB VIII of German child and youth welfare.

Of the planned two temporary play streets that are set up in the district this year, Gunzenhausen is lucky enough to be one of the first. This shows the growing importance of aids for child development through play and social interaction, which are promoted in a beautiful form by such events.

children have the right to a carefree time, and this initiative not only offers the little ones a place to play, but also a platform to develop their creativity. A successful afternoon is guaranteed here, and the anticipation for this can already be noticeable!
