Ohjelmaa lapsiperheille Saamelaisilla kirkkopäivillä
Saamelaiset kirkkopäivät tarjoavat myös lapsiperheille kiehtovan ja monipuolisen ohjelman! Osa näistä on suunniteltu niin, että lapset osallistuvat yksin sillä välin, kun aikuiset kuuntelevat pääohjelman seminaaria.
Mitä on tarjolla Altassa?
Festivaalialue sijaitsee keskeisellä paikalla Altassa, josta on lyhyt matka moneen lapsiperheille sopivaan toimeen.
Nordlysbadet – upea kylpylä kävelymatkan päässä.
Keilahalli – sopiva mukavaa perhetoimea varten.
Leikkipaikat – lähistöllä on kaksi ulkoilmaleikkipaikkaa: yksi torilla noin viiden minuutin kävelymatkan päässä Nordlyskatedralenista ja toinen juuri katedraalin ohella, joka sopii pienimmille.
Kirjasto ja elokuva – mukavia vaihtoehtoja viettääkseen rauhallisen hetken yhdessä.
Tapaamispaikka kaikille
Pystytämme ison kodan kirkkopuistoon. Tänne voi tulla sateensuojaan, henkäisemään tapahtumien välillä tai ruokatauolle herkuttelemaan. Osa pääohjelmasta tapahtuu kodassa, mutta tämä tulee enimmäkseen olemaan avoin tapaamispaikka.
