What ist the Boys’Day?
The “Boys’Day – Jungen-Zukunftstag” (Boys’ Future Day) takes place today, April the 23rd, as a nationwide campaign in many companies parallel to the Girls’Day.
The purpose of the project day is to give boys an insight into occupational profiles and areas that are currently still rather little practised by men.
These include, for example, professions in the social, educational and nursing sectors.
The project for boys was created in 2002 as a reaction to Girls’Day by individual schools, authorities and companies to help boys overcome role stereotypes and be more open to other job profiles.
Since 2011, Boys’Day has taken place as a nationwide campaign under its current name.
The offer from bwh Koffer
The case manufacturer bwh Koffer is also participating as part of this campaign.
Parts of our cases are sewn by hand with an industrial sewing machine.
In our sewing room, we show the participant the working process and explain everything about patterns for cases.
After a short introduction, the boy is then allowed to help with the sewing and case construction himself.
At the same time as Boys’ Day at bwh Koffer, our online shop Koffermarkt is offering a Girls’ Day special.
