For every activity at Festival De Betovering, a minimum age is indicated (for example, 7+). This is the age at which the creators believe a child can understand and enjoy the performance or workshop.

This age is based on the average cognitive development of children, but of course, every child is unique. That’s why we ask parents and caregivers to decide for themselves whether a performance suits their child, as long as the child is not younger than the stated minimum age.

For example: a 10-year-old with the developmental level of a 3-year-old is very welcome at a 3+ performance, as long as the subject matter matches their world of experience.

This way, we hope all children can enjoy the festival, regardless of any disability or developmental level.

Not sure or have questions about a performance or workshop? Feel free to email our inclusion project leader at annelieke@debetovering.nl. We’re happy to help.
