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!

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.
