This event is part of a programme aimed at valorising and revitalising the "Schluechthaus" (old slaughterhouse), with the objective of implementing, during a trial phase, the ideas and wishes collected through citizen participation regarding the future use of the site. Thus, prior to commencing the work, a variety of one-off events (including cultural, sporting, and intergenerational activities) will be offered on the "Schluechthaus" premises
