Dear colleagues and friends from Europe and other areas,

we cordially invite you our very a special, different kind of Come Together session!

“Come together, Cook together!”

Time and date: Friday, 29th of November 2024, 18:30-20.00 (6.30-8.00 pm) German, Italian and Serbian time, some countries 7.30 pm (19:30) (Bulgaria and Romania), in other countries 5.30 pm (17.30) (inEngland)

You think cooking together via video conferencing doesn’t work?

Why not try it out with us! As some of you may know during our project Vives we regularly cooked together online. We met for an informal and cosy evening from kitchen to kitchen, tried out recipes and then enjoyed eating what we have created! We would now like to revive this wonderful format on an international scale and cordially invite you to join us this Friday!

Our dear colleague Gabriele Flemming will prepare one of her favourite winter dishes and you are welcome to cook along: Carrot/ginger soup and as dessert Apples baked with goat’s cheese or sheep’s cheese and honey – we provide the recipe with the ingredients you need and in the end we can all eat together a wonderful meal together via Zoom.

If you enjoy cooking or would like some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. Don’t forget – the best parties take place in the kitchen!

The recipe can be downloaded here:

Dear colleagues and friends from Europe and other areas,

we cordially invite you to join the 90^th Come Together Session of the Danube-Networkers devoted to the topic: “Fostering Citizen Participation & Democracy by digital and analogue tools”

Date: October 22, 2024 (Tuesday)
Time: 18:30 (6:30 P.M., CET)

Developments in many countries raise the question of why people do not seem to be aware of the importance of citizen participation. In particular, however, it seems that the opportunities to get involved are often not even known. During this special Come Together Session, we wish to explore these opportunities across our countries with you. We will collect information on analog and digital political participation opportunities and invite you to share your experiences with us: How have you been involved? Or why haven’t you used the existing possibilities so far? What offers should be made to get more people involved?

Let’s discuss together about this important topic and use this great chance to exchange examples from our own experiences and to brainstorm new ideas together!

Preparation: We encourage you to think about and gather examples from your country / your city beforehand. You can also send them to us in advance to info@ileu.net.

Languages: The session will be held in English and translated into German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and Serbian.

Moderated by: Carmen Stadelhofer (ILEU e.V.) & Marina Kuch (ILEU e.V.)

We look forward to seeing you there!

What do you think of when you think of traveling? Getting to know new people and cultures, getting away from everyday life, taking a deep breath…!? Together we would like to explore the topic of traveling: how do you plan a trip, why do you travel at all – but we would also like to talk about what we should pay attention to when we travel, e.g. sustainability. We look forward to your stories, thoughts and tips. We will also hear great travel stories with beautiful pictures and be treated to poems and songs.

Program

Planning a trip with the help of ViMA danube – vima-danube.eu: a guide & examples by our ViMA danube volunteers

Discussion in group: How does traveling connect us? What is important to consider when we travel (e.g. sustainability)?

We invite you to join our session on the interesting topic of “Serbia on focus – people, tradition & legacy” where you will learn more about Serbia – a country in the center of Danube basin, but still not well known, and a hidden pearl of Balkan and Europe. You will discover life of first Serbian woman painter and poetess Wilhelmina Mina Karadzic from early 18. Century, hear about young talents that unite Europe, and listen to the song and performance of a talented Serbian musician.

We will also have an interesting discussion about our personal experience from this country: Have you visited Serbia? Do you know some famous persons from or Serbian by origin? Do you know something about Serbian gastronomy, mentality and folklore? Let’s exchange and get to know together Serbia!

Program

Ode to joy (modern version) performed by Mario Dimitrijevic   graduate guitar player and music theoretician (Belgrade, Serbia)

Young talents unite Europe – presentation by Marijana Milankov and her daughter Zoja Medenica (Pancevo, Serbia)

From July 11-13, the 8th meeting of the Danube Networkers took place in Ulm / Neu-Ulm – there was a lot of interesting exchange, discussions and many warm moments between the participants and partners of the network. We would like to use the Sunday to tell you all about the lively exchange, the new acquaintances, the cultural activities, and also about the conference on Friday “Strengthening Civil Society in the Danube Region for a joint Europe”. As always, we will be accompanied by music and poetry, this time from Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia.

We would also like to use the evening to remember two of our dear Danube Networkers who unfortunately passed away this year – Stan Miller and Veska Uzunova. They will be missed a lot and we would like to remember them together with you.
