A party to celebrate the launch of the Agenda Kids Club was organised at the Playmobil Fun Park Hal Far and attracted a number of children already members of the Agenda Kids Club. The aim of this club is to introduce children to various storybook characters while instilling in them the love of reading.

The Agenda Kids Club members who attended the party were first divided into different groups depending on their age, after which they enjoyed and participated in various activities including story telling, puppet shows, shadow theatre, crafts, face painting, and dancing. The children also enjoyed a healthy glass of Nesquik. There was also a band going round the Playmobil Fun Park courtyard, playing lively music.

Mikiel, the life-size Kids Club Mascot was introduced for the first time at the launch party and participated enthusiastically with the children in all the activities. Another highlight of the party was the surprise guest for the evening, Ira Losco, who spoke with all the children and handed out her personalised autographs.
