JESC 2007:AVRO provides Sinterklaas, ice ring and museum visit

Like at the Eurovision Song Contest, the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is joined by a varied social programme, however on a child's level. Dutch broadcaster AVRO and the city of Rotterdam joined forces to offer the candidates of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 a splendid time in Rotterdam.

To start with, the seventeen delegations taking part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 will be welcomed by Ivo Opstelten, the Mayor of Rotterdam, and a special junior mayor of the city.

Furthermore the kids will visit the Maritime Museum of Rotterdam, make a boat trip and go ice skating on an ice skating ring in the centre of the city.

On Wednesday 5th December, the European kids will be introduced to Sinterklaas, the friend of all children who is world famous in the Netherlands and Flanders for bringing sweets and toys.

On Thursday, a party is scheduled in a local disco.

On Friday 7th and Saturday 8th, the serious jobs have to be done: the dress rehearsals and the live broadcast of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007.
