Nicaragua
A visit to The World Pavilion begins with a special plane ride in a real Fokker 50. You board and the pilot provides a safe flight to another world. Once you arrive, you pass through customs and then experience the daily life and culture of these countries with films, games, Virtual Reality, simulations, music and workshops. Watch interesting films about children in Nicaragua, go to school, play a game about fair trade and learn about issues such as child labor. In Nicaragua you can also experience the atmosphere on a cocoa plantation where children work.
Ghana
In Ghana, you take a real bus ride through the country and arrive in a village. There you put on the VR glasses and experience life in a Ghanaian village as if you were there yourself. Walk with children to school, so to speak, and watch the children make a dance in the schoolyard around the Ghanaian flag before classes begin. At the Baobab tree, you can listen to traditional stories and at the music canvas, djembe sessions are held regularly. At the medicine man you will get information about the work of this traditional physician.
There is a special focus on the refugee issue in Europe. Take a seat in the boat and experience via VR simulation the harsh crossing from Africa to the Italian island of Lampedusa.
