ILEU e.V. organized the event as part of the international project \u201cTaste of Danube. Bread.Wine. Herbs\u201d. The Herdbridge connects the towns of Ulm and Neu-Ulm, the states of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and Bavaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> ILEU e.V. decorated the bridge beautifully with international flags and tables. The tables were nicely decorated and covered by a tablecloths designed with the course of the Danube.  Thirty different civil society organizations from all the Danube countries and students of the University of Applied Sciences in Neu-Ulm hosted each one table. The hosts offered bread, small delights and drinks (water, coffee, wine) free of charge. The mayors of Ulm and Neu-Ulm opened the event with welcome speeches. Everybody was invited to sing a song of peace, before the event started. 84 guests from 10 other countries of the Danube region were invited by ILEU e.V. and the Ulm Danube-Networkers. The guests from the Danube region offered typical small delights from their countries to the guests. People were invited to mark their hometown on the map or places they visited in the Danube region. These table cloths were a great way to get conversation started (e.g. about experiences, everyday life, cultures, common interests). Where a common language was missing, designs and translation helpers were being used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event showed that we all want to meet our neighbors living along the\nRiver Danube and that we want to live together as an unity in diversity in a\npeaceful and tolerant Europe. For quite a few citizens of Ulm it was their\nfirst encounter with people from Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event took place during the international Danube Festival in Ulm\/Neu-Ulm, which resulted in a very diverse mix of the visitors (age, race, class). In cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, ILEU e.V. did intensive PR that resulted in a very good press coverage of the event. There were multiple announcements beforehand, and a number of articles in local newspapers and on radio as well as one report on TV.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project partners:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ILEU e.V., Ulm, Germany &#8211; Project coordinator<\/li><li>DANET e.V., Germany <\/li><li>City of Ulm, Germany<\/li><li>City of Neu-Ulm, Germany<\/li><li>Danube Office Ulm, Germany<\/li><li>University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1043","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","keyword-communication","keyword-community","keyword-danube-strategy","keyword-diversity","keyword-european-identity","keyword-food","keyword-intercultural","keyword-low-threshold-method","keyword-peace","keyword-social-inclusion","keyword-solidarity"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2142,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1043\/revisions\/2142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
