Integration as a chance for local economy

We were allowed to participate in the panel discussion of the Department of Economic and Tourism Development of the City of Graz.

It was a very interesting and lively discussion with participants such as Karl-Heinz Snobe (AMS Styria), Peter Riedler (University of Graz), Julia Bock-Schappelwein (WIFO) and many more.

It was pointed out that there are many opportunities for integration into the economy but some - such as legal, linguistic, ... - fundamentals must be created first in order to start a sustainable integration.

Other issues were vocational education and training. In these subjects, we see an great opportunity with our organization EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURS to participate in the integration process. There have been some useful follow-up meeting with Karl-Heinz-Snobe (AMS) and Andrea Keimel (Graz economic) to jointly development our FAIR FUTURE Education Initiative.

Thank you for the successful event!

Workshop with Didi Dorner

Many thanks to Didi Dorner for the exciting day! The workshop dealt with the product garlic in the kitchen from the right processing to the finished products.

The aim was to develop various pastes and a pickled product made of our organic garlic in addition to the existing Salse wich are already available.

The pastes were directly tasted in the evening > DELICIOUS !!! The pickled garlic (vinegar, star anise, ginger, ...) just matures in glasses and will be tasted in a few weeks.

Special thanks to the industrious helpers: Didi Dorner, family Winkler, Didis mum, Didis kitchen helper, Helene Mandl, Nikola Mandl and Monika Lienhart.
