VKE is an association of volunteers, founded in Bolzano in 1974 by a group of parents, who wanted to dedicate themselves to emphasizing children's and young people's right to play and creating playing areas for them, but also to the improvement of children's life quality, as well as that of the youth and their families in general. The main activities of VKE are:

1. "Spielbus/Ludobus" a small bus with several games to visit the different communities of the Province of Bolzano offering children the opportunity to play and learn together.
2. "SpielHaus/CasaGioco" is a small house for the promotion of the free time where children can find different games.
3. "Estate Ragazzi VKE" are summer camps for children aged between 3 and 14 years.

• participation in the organization and implementation of games in the frame of the "Spielbus/Ludobus" and of the game centers (“Spielhaus/Centri Giochi”);
