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 2013
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. Let yourself be inspired.
