It has been almost five weeks since the unicef children’s festival in mitwitz castle park attracted about 1200 visitors. Now the head of the unicef working group in upper franconia, gisela schardt, has announced that the amount has been raised: 11,057 euros have gone to unicef emergency aid. "Every cent of it will go to the victims of the cyclone "idai" the earthquake that struck mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi in march of this year. So we can always do something good twice at the same time. At the unicef children’s festival, we make the children who come to us happy, and then our donations go to needy children all over the world."

Gisela schardt also provided information about the challenges facing aid organizations: "it was a great misery when the cyclone hit, but unicef, with its many years of experience, is networked all over the world, and its staff can be deployed very quickly." Unfortunately, in order to be able to help adequately, much more is needed than just medical care, clean water and something to eat. "Children should be able to go to school again, they should feel safe and secure in their free time, protected in their home environment." After the disaster pictures that everyone immediately had in mind, gisela schardt also drew more pleasant pictures of children who have enough to eat and drink and a place to sleep safely. "And if we can contribute something to this, then that makes me and my team infinitely happy."

The neustadt museum and local history society, now a forderverein, has been paying since 1. June to the five members of the newly founded association "museums in the coburg region. His new board is already full of ideas: with remarkable offers small and coarse museum visitors are to be inspired.
Chairwoman hannelore muller had come up with something special for this occasion: everyone who was interested in the museum with the toy industry was invited to a cozy coffee afternoon at the museum of the german toy industry. "Today we meet in a different way in the neustadt museum. We wanted to "collect ideas" in a relaxed round of talks, wished muller. May the club experience a bit of revival. "I would also like to get the members to come to the museum again in this way. And i also liked to bury new members in this cozy atmosphere."
Maybe we should dock to the monthly meetings of the costume group, a proposal of muller, which was buried spontaneously. During the discussion, topics and ideas for the design of offers came up: perhaps a course on traditional costumes could take place in cooperation with the adult education center "which could perhaps also arouse interest among young people", said muller, said muller. One could join the alpine club to hike in the home country, the region and thuringia. "We are also a museum and local history association", reminded muller. Also the contact with the museums in the region like the sheep museum in ahorn could be cultivated as a partner exchange. Museum employee mandy dollas-brandner reported on the museum pedagogy already taking place for children, young people and adults. "We have a museum educational program also for u-classes (transitional classes middle school) with an extra program for schoolchildren, with the emphasis on learning the german language", informed dollas-brandner.
New is also the discovery tour from this school year for school groups, which are guided through the museum. There is also a vacation care program with the youth help center in neustadt. There is also a monthly children’s creative workshop and much more. A brand new feature for all visitors this year is the "museum out of the bag" with exciting content to explore. "At the same time, history is packaged in an exciting way", said dollas-brandner.
Museum director udo habner-leidner reported that the main focus was on guided tours of the museum, which mainly went through the industrial department. This could be combined with other events.

Much more money is not available than before. Mvn

The entire weitramsdorf community area gets fast internet via fiber optics. To this end, the municipality will participate in the demand program for the construction of gigabit-capable broadband networks in the free state (bavarian gigabit guideline).

Residents of the city's suburbs and the outer areas of the city center will be able to do their last christmas shopping with the new burgerbus. Next week, it will be in operation for the first time on three days. "It all has to settle in first, we have to gather experience first", says manuela hafner of the munnerstadt city administration. It is possible that the bus will be a few minutes late in the test phase, passengers should just wait a little bit.

The city has now leased the minibus. About half of the leasing costs will be covered by the company wotan, explains mayor helmut blank (CSU). After the test phase in the next week, the bus should run regularly from the second week of january. Then the mayor also wants to approach local companies that can place their advertising on the bus, so that more money comes into the burgerbus coffers. By then it should be decorated with the city's coat of arms in any case.
