Ägeri valley The world has discovered Ägeri. More and more people around the globe have found a new «home» here in the Ägeri valley. People from Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Benelux, Russia, Spain, Iceland . . . are living together peacefully and enjoying the beautiful landscape of the Ägeri valley. Families have left their homeland for various reasons to settle down here to work, to make new friends and maybe to find a new home. The infrastructure of the local communities is perfect, the shopping and leisure facilities are extensive, and the Swiss school system also offers new arrivals good conditions to acquire the language and to integrate. Despite mixing of peoples, the local communities continue to celebrate their own traditions. While many new arrivals take part in these events, others may not be aware of what is going on. December 20<strong>13</strong> in particular has lots to offer. Birgit Ehmes has been leading the company «coaching & more» since last summer, and is offering a special program from November 27 until December 8. Under the slogan «The World meets Ägeri» she, together with various businesses from the Ägeri valley, is offering an Advent decoration exhibition, as well as a rich program for all residents, regardless of age, language or culture. The lake house (Haus am See) will be the meeting place where different cultures can meet, discuss, and celebrate together. It also provides a great opportunity for communication and integration for all non-German speakers from the Ägeri valley. The world meets Ägeri! All events will be held in German and English. What could be better than meeting and learning at the Lake House? Doors are open between November 27 to December 8 from 15:00 till 22:00 The exhibition offers homemade Advent wreaths, Advent and Christmas calendars and decorations in the style of the Swiss colors.
