Children’s program in the Petite Cigale creative workshop
The Petite Cigale association has created a space in Markelfingen where children can be creative. Whether with brushes and paints, at the sewing machine or with a writing pen, whether playfully discovering the French language or performing simple magic tricks – here, young participants are encouraged in their creative interests in a holistic way.
Thanks to funding as a community project, ten children’s sewing courses and thirty interactive French lessons can be offered. The focus is not on cramming at school, but on trying out the language of our neighbors through lively word and board games.
Dates for children’s sewing courses:
23. and 30. 01., 20. U. 27.02, 13. U. 20.03.,17. U. 24.04., 09. U. 16.10., 13. U. 20.11. 2026

(W)Places write history – connecting stories: writing and reading for everyone
For over three years, eight women who couldn’t be more different have been writing together regularly: the “Miteinander schreiben” group. The women meet twice a month at the TeggIn meeting point at Teggingerstraße 10 to get creative together. For their readings as part of the town’s anniversary celebrations, the writing group went in search of personalities who are important to Radolfzell. Her texts show how many ways you can approach Radolfzell and the people who live and lived here through literature.
The eight women will present the results of their work at three readings, each with new texts: Saturday, March 14, 4 – 5:30 p.m. at the Diakonie multi-generation house at Teggingerstraße 16, Friday, June 12, 2 – 2:45 p.m. in Böhringen at Sägemühle 1 (outdoors) and Saturday, October 17, 11 a.m. – noon at the city library, Marktplatz 8. The reading at the multi-generation house will be accompanied by Christiane Hermann and Christina Bretzke on the accordion.
The project is a civic project sponsored by the city to mark the city’s anniversary. Thanks to the funding, the “Miteinander schreiben” group was able to hold various workshops under professional guidance: a theater pedagogy training course to train voice, expression and stage presence as well as workshops under the guidance of an experienced writing coach. The aim of the group is to experience the joy of writing together, to promote intergenerational dialog and to appeal to people of all ages and from different cultural backgrounds and to inspire them to write. Anyone interested is cordially invited to come to the group meetings. Info: Multi-generation house of the Diakonie, Tel. 7732 952786.
