Wanterbësch

To add to the already fantastic Winterlights offering, the Service Foyers scolaires – CAPEL (Centre d'Animation Pédagogique et de Loisirs – Creative Learning Centre) had come up with something very special: a unique outdoor event.

At the Wanterbësch, a range of workshops had been available to children aged 3 and up. As well as these activities, designed to promote a respectful approach to the forest by gently opening visitors' eyes to the natural world, there were also a number of theatre performances based around the same theme.
