Fimcap day

Dear fimcap friends,

We are very happy to present you Fimcap Day 2004. The General Assembly of fimcap decided in Barcelona to have the same activity on the same day in all the youth groups of all our member organisations all around the world. The 20th of November is the day of children’s rights. We chose it as fimcap day.
On this day we suggest playing the following game with the youngsters you work with.

Game for fimcap day 2004

1. Opening of the meeting

Introduce the logo of fimcap and explain the idea of fimcap day. You find the logo and information about fimcap in the leaflet enclosed. If in your organisation there is a tradition of flags, we suggest creating your own fimcap flag with the logo and raising it.

2. Route game

In this letter you find papers with information about member organisations of fimcap and typical games they play. Each of the papers will be a post in the route game. The leader puts the posts (the papers with the facts about the organisations) to different places in the neighbourhood of your meeting place. At each post there is a note where to find the next one. The children and youngsters go in small groups from one post to the next, they read the papers and play the small games which are explained there.
In the letter you also find a world map. The kids should find on the map the countries they read about and colour them. In the end you see all the places in the world where the same game is being played.
If you have the possibility to photocopy the map, you can cut out the fimcap-countries and let the members of the group do a puzzle.

3. End of the meeting

Explain more about fimcap. You find a lot of information on our website www.fimcap.org and in the leaflet you can download on our website.
Say the prayer enclosed. It has been written by Louis Vandyck, chaplain of Kiro Congo.

After the activity you are very welcome to write a short comment about your experience and send it to the fimcap secretariat info@fimcap.org . It will be published in “link”, the fimcap newsletter.
If you have any questions, email them to info@fimcap.org.

We wish you good luck and a lot of fun with the fimcap day activity!
