Programme
BørneDistortion
Hans Tavsens Park | 14.00-19.00 | FB Event
BørneDistortion is a space created for the kids to participate in activities, workshops, and enjoy a concert or two. We believe in the importance of giving a voice to the younger generation, and we’re doing so by creating a platform for kids to express themselves and their dreams through art and creativity.
In collaboration with Nørrebro Bibliotek, Bette Café, Den Bemandede Legeplads, Høreforeningen, and many more we have created an interactive, magical day full of art, music, and creative workshops. There will of course be great opportunities to indulge in an ice cream or a hot dog – and don’t worry there will also be coffee for the adults.
Take a stroll through the Assistens Cemetery and bring your kids or grandkids to Hans Tavsens Park and let them explore their creative minds.
