BLACK MOVIE FESTIVAL AUTOMNALES

October-December 2018

things to do in Geneva for families Grand Cinema for the little ones is the autumn edition of the annual Black Movie, which usually takes place in January. It is addressed to children aged 4+.

Each month the films will be exploring a different theme. In October, little ones will be encouraged to look up to see the joyous characters that flutter in the air: a teasing toddler fluttering in a world of felt, a domesticated bird who has trouble leaving the parental nest, a valiant young man who defies the clouds to save his village, and even traveling ants … ballooning!

DESALPE IN ANNECY 

October 13

Things to do in Geneva with families
CREDIT: Tourism Lac Annecy

Every autumn many towns and villages organise festivities to welcome the cows coming back from their summer in the mountains aka “desalpe” (coming back from the alps). The cows enter the towns wearing flower decorations, and somewhat loud bells.

One of the places worth visiting is Annecy. Though it is a different experience from the ones in Swiss mountain towns and villages, it is absolutely worth your time.The festival will introduce you to the local produce, trades and crafts of the past, folk music, and more.

For children sensitive to the noise, and the smallest ones, we advise to take ear plugs, or noise-cancelling headphones. Come prepared and enjoy

Annecy, old town

October 13, 9h-18h

DES VACANCES QUI DONNENT LA PATATE

It organizes workshops and activities for children aged 3 to 12. They are fun, educational, free of charge, and does not require registration (but places are limited).

This year the whole week will be focusing on the theme of “rhythm and movement” as these are the two important aspects of the work of the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler, who is a big focus on the Geneva cultural agenda this year.

This is a great opportunity for kids not enrolled in any camps in one of the best venues for families when its wet and dreary outside.

We can’t wait for this event! On the occasion of 18th Wright Colloquium, the Wright Foundation will organise a magnificent mapping spectacle – a sound and light show. The scene will take the form of the façade of the Uni Bastion central, and the oldest, building (in Parc Bastions). The theme of this year’s edition is gravity and universal attraction.

3 weeks, 3 shows a day, the first one at 18h – long enough before bedtime to let the kids enjoy it too. I assure you this is an unforgettable experience for them. They can watch a mesmerising show, dance to the music and stock up on new images to fuel their imagination.

Uni Bastions, Parc Bastions

MECHANICAL MOVES : THE PRINCIPLE OF LEAST EFFORT

Things to do in Geneva for families
CREDIT: Museum of Science and History

October 17 2018 – September 15 2019

A new exhibition in the Science History Museum is launching this October. It is all about machines that help us carry weight. Come and find out how they differ, how they work, and how to put them in use. The machines presented are those used to carry certain weights. Don’t miss this possibility to come and try lifting some of these weights to find out how simple machines work.

Also, don’t forget to note down the 3 dates of exhibition-related kids workshops: October 17, November 21, and February 13. If you can’t make it on these dates, the Science History Museum organises kids activities almost every Wednesday. It can make for a beautiful day with a walk by the lake, activities in the museum, and picnic in the park – or is this a bit too ambitious?

FYI: the museum is not very accessible with strollers/wheelchairs: there are steps, and no lift to take you up to the first floor.

WHERE

Musée d’histoire des sciences; Parc de la Perle du Lac; 128, rue de Lausanne

PARENTVILLE GENEVA 

Things to do in Geneva for families Parentville was created by Geneva-based mother, Olga Sokolik, after many friends urged her to share in a friendly and accessible way, all the knowledge she has gathered about children-related topics in Geneva. After sharing just a few articles, it has become clear that the parents are in need of an online place where they can find what they need, within seconds. Parentville is a website, a Facebook group, and an Instagram profile.

 

You’ll find articles on the website, a lot of discussions on Facebook, and a lot of behind the scenes and places we love on Instagram. Parentville.ch – online resource in English for families in Geneva. Discover new places, find out about childcare options, meet mumpreneurs, and enjoy this absolutely not boring city!
