The Place of the Children

Tamera

Our children are the bearers of our planet's future. Every child has a direct, authentic power for peace within him or her. Children need protection from the madness and violence of today's world and they need adults who act for life and against war with all their power. They need a space to live and learn with human honesty, trust and a feeling of home. They have many powers to help protect life, animals, plants and people. (Photo: Alec Gagneux) more...

Statement by Patch Adams about Place of the Children

"I had the great honour, in my week at Tamera, to spend an afternoon with its children at the edge of the enchanting forest ( for real).
I’ve visited 4-500 communes and always take a close look at the children and their world. This kids’ village nurtured play and thoughtful way. Every child carried their freedom and offered them to me. Always enthusiastic and hungry for the ridiculous. more...

Statement by Patch Adams about 'Black Shadow ...' Theater Play

And the on my last day I saw their miraculous new play. Front row, I see an articulate, graphic showing of global problems.
And of course, the kids creatively decide to take a stand – bind together and, rested in love and fun, feel empowered to work zealously for change with enough love and action everyone can be used for.
This is a revolutionary manifesto for today, yet free of dogma. more...

"Escola da Esperança" - School of Hope

Place of the Children

This is the name of the new traveling theater school of the children of Tamera. From the End of August to the end of September the whole team from the "Place of the Children", twenty children and fifteen adults, went on a theater tour throughout Switzerland and Germany. Their play is named: "The black Shadow and the Riddle of the Princess". The entire time, from the design of the play, the theater rehearsals, the production of costumes and stage settings right up to the preparation and the realization of the tour, was an intensive spell of learning in many subjects for all participants of all age brackets. In this way the vision of a "School of the Future" emerged. more...
