Kirchheim - 1st Village Exchange with Paxos and Porrúa Wednesday, 17.02.2010 - Gerda Strasser Kirchheim, "Cultural Village of Europe 2010": The first major cultural exchange with villagers from the Greek community of Paxos and the Spanish community of Porrúa took place between the 12th and 15th February 2010.
On the Friday afternoon, full of joy and anticipation the Kirchheimers waited patiently for their guests to arrive. Eventually at 5pm, Bernhard KERN (the Kirchheim Mayor) cordially welcomed his European counterparts; Spyros BOGDANOS (Paxos) and German ROMANO SOBRINO (Porrúa) and all our friends from both countries.
Under the guidance of local artiste Johann Lengauer, a group of young people from Kirchheim joined by others from Paxos and Porrúa, were invited to create pictures utilising re-cycling material. The chosen theme for this were the three figures portrayed within the Cultural Village logo. Although each person created a picture for themselves as a reminder of their visit to Kirchheim; a selection of the finished art work will remain and be displayed in the entrance hall of the MID (Mitten im Dorf).
On Sunday afternoon the 1st European Market took place and exceeded everyone’s expectations. In addition to Kirchheim residents, people came from far and wide to witness and enjoy this unique event.
