Easter 2021
Easter 2021
Dear friends of the Eurojumelages,
The Corona pandemic has been going on for a year now.
In many telephone calls and e-mails with members of the Eurojumelages I have heard again and again that they miss the partnership meetings, the intensive language courses as well as the cultural and sporting events very much.
Regardless of the Corona-related restrictions, the Board of Directors is still active and preparing the "After Corona Time" (as can be seen from the attached screenshot of the last online meeting).
Eurojumelages has launched a new website just in time for Easter. Take a look right at it now on your smartphone or computer!
Please feel free to send us your comments.
We would like to seize this opportunity to thank the members of the working group who have designed the new website.
Let us use the Easter days to gain hope and look forward to the time after the Corona pandemic, when our association life can take place again in the usual way.
Now I wish you and the people close to you - also on behalf of the Board of Directors – an Easter with much joy and hope.
I greet you warmly, stay healthy!
Yours Peter Backes
Eurojumelages Board of Directors of March 29th, 2021
Christmas 2020
Christmas Greetings 2020
2019 draws to a close, and Christmas is just around the corner.
A review of the year shows that it was another year of wars, assassinations and many political conflicts.
Especially in difficult times it is all the more important to support the basic idea of the Eurojumelages, which is mutual respect and friendship between people, regardless of race, religion or ideology, and thus to contribute to peaceful international understanding.
We as Eurojumelages, with our 6o-year history, are a living example of a successful international understanding.
However, more than ever we must try to inspire as many people as possible with our idea.
Moreover, we must direct the attention more strongly to our organization, e.g. by an increased presence at public events.
To attract new jumeleurs we can also use our wide range of activities, such as culture, languages, sports and partnership meetings.
The new year therefore holds new challenges in store. This is a good thing because we live on change and constant improvement.
For me personally, with the election as President of Eurojumelages a new chapter opened in 2019. This responsible task fills me with great pleasure. I look forward to tackling the difficult challenges together with you.
With your support this will succeed!
I wish you and the people who are important to you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Your Peter Backes
Präsident of the Eurojumelages
