2024: Report from a French holiday worker in Bonn / Germany

ferienJob 1 180During my stay in Bonn, I resided with four different families, who I was introduced to on my arrival in Germany, during a get-together organised by Tina and Simone. The first family to welcome me was Ingrid and Wolfgang. It was my first time in another country on my own and I needed time to adapt to the German language and my new environment. Ingrid and Wolfgang were very kind and attentive to me during the two weeks I stayed with them. Their house was quite close to the shop where I worked, and the short commute made it easy to get to my work-place in the morning.

International choir singing in Neuwied-Engers

from 8th to 14th September 2024

noten 180“We came as individual voices and left as a choir!”

In the State Music Academy of Rhineland-Palatinate, in the picturesque Engers Castle, located directly on the Rhine, 19 jumeleurs from 4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland) met with a choirmaster to sing together for a week and experience the Rhineland culture.

It was a premiere within Eurojumelages, a meeting just for singing. Everyone was willing to take part in the experiment: The jumeleurs with their different voices and the choirmaster who was to mould them into a melodious choir. The historic castle with its rehearsal rooms, guest rooms and Rhine terrace was the ideal location for this ambitious project.
