Script, invitation and programme for “De Wereldwatchers” (Lentefeest and Feest Vrijzinnige Jeugd 2017), submitted by OVM-Maasland
On 18 and 19 March 2017 OVM-Maasland celebrated its 29th Lentefeest and Feest Vrijzinnige Jeugd (rites of passage for secular humanist youths) and in 2018 it already celebrated its 30th edition. Every year the group draws up a scenario for the Lentefeest/FVJ, using secular humanist values to build on a central theme. The organisers also take into account the wishes and talents of the celebrants. The theme is reflected in the invitation, the badge, the decor, etc.
The script, the invitation and the programme booklet for 2017 (“De Wereldwatchers” - “The World Watchers”) were made by OVM-Maasland, a group of ethics teachers from the primary school and several volunteers: Christien De Buck, Wendy Kirkels, Jette Colla, Conny Aendekerk, Cindy Notermans, Rik Vanhoudt and Esther Houben.
Each year, OVM-Maasland puts a great deal of time and effort into the preparations, because it is important that secular humanism is put in the spotlight in this way and that secular humanist values are highlighted. It is also a very special day and step in the lives of the children, so all members and volunteers are happy to help!
The children and parents receive the programme booklet as a souvenir of this special day.
