Jena: Creative Holiday Workshop ‘Photo Album’ for Children

Jena, 13.07.2026 – A five-day creative workshop for children aged eight and older begins today in Jena as part of the Thuringian summer holidays.

Creative motif hunting and authentic bookbinding

The holiday workshop, led by André Helbig, combines modern photography with traditional craftsmanship. During three excursions to gardens in Jena and a wildlife park, the participating children will search for motifs to capture the animal and plant world with their cameras.

Afterward, the young photographers will be introduced to digital image editing on the computer. The printed photographs will then be creatively arranged in their own albums. In addition to the images, the children can write their own texts or add drawings. The creative process concludes with the actual bookbinding, where the personal photo album is assembled.

Creative alternatives during the summer holidays

This program offers a varied leisure activity during the holiday period. Those interested in musical experiments rather than photography can find other suitable offers in the city: The “Musikbaustelle” recently launched in Jena as a holiday program.
