Lets collect the possible workshops and people doing them here as an overview. Then we can move them to the calendar.

Groups

So far we do have the following groups (pls edit)

  • **little kids (below 6 years)**
    • 15 from Woodwhistlers-school in Naddi. See email-thread on this. They we'd be only visiting on their school.
  • **kids (6-11)**
    • another 15 from Woodwhistlers-school in Naddi. See email-thread on this. Events can also be carried out in our venue, but costs for transportation need to be figured out - TODO.
  • **Teenies (12-16)**
    • no connections so far, but there are some schools around the venue that should have that age group ⇒ TODO
  • **youngsters (16-20]]**
    • around 15 from ~faraway TCV (Tibetan Children`s Village) are coming. They will be staying at upper TCV (Dal Lake), so Sun-Mon /19th-20th). we might be going to their place and the rest time they'd be with us. Transport via TCV
