The Children’s Meeting Place in Kalmar is right outside the Town Hall. In the beginning of June the Children’s Meeting Place in Kalmar was inaugurated in conjunction with a two-day youth conference. The chosen tree is a handkerchief tree (Davidia involucrata) placed in the inner court yard of the City Hall. At the inauguration ceremony lots of banners, drawings and textiles with messages gave a colorful frame to the place of the tree. Mayor of Kalmar, Mr. Roland Karlsson was present and greetings came from Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
