Learning and laughing café in Bad Ischl: Women meet for exchange!

In Bad Ischl, the Volkshilfe project "Living in Dialog" starts a free learning and laughing café every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This innovative program offers women from different countries, from Korea to Ukraine, the opportunity to exchange ideas and improve their language skills. The head of the café, Brixi Schwartz-Poszvek, who has been volunteering for years, organized a small Christmas party at the last meeting of the year. The initiative has developed into a valuable network that provides useful information on topics such as living space searches and visa extensions, as meinbezirk.at reported.

mixed record of the Capital of Culture

The Cultural Capital year Bad Ischl - Salzkammergut 2024 is coming to an end and the results are mixed. In the 23 communities involved, Mayor of Bad Ischl show a positive feedback: "The cultural capital has much more than fulfilled," she reports. Projects such as the renovation of the Lehártheater are now on the agenda, supported by an international network. In Gmunden, Mayor Stefan Krapf expresses praising words because the city and local companies benefited from this cultural event. Nevertheless, in smaller communities, such as Obertraun, the joy of the sweet nectar of culture does not seem to be entirely thrive; Mayor Egon Höll criticizes the defective financial support that complicates a sustainable project implementation, so reported Volksblatt.at .
