Last week, on Tuesday, the Jumelage team attended an important workshop on child protection, presented by Human Help Network e.V.
The leading question of the workshop was: How can a child get their rights respected after they have been violated, without relying on an adult?

Through different group tasks, active discussions and exemplary cases, the team was sensitized to risks in Jumelage projects that could violate child rights and learned how to mitigate them.

The group worked out specific ways in which a childโ€™s rights could be violated and identified the factors that contribute to it. The workshop provided valuable insights into how Jumelage can respect child rights in its work.

On Wednesday, the team activities continued with a team-building task led by Managing Director Layla from Germany. The participants first formed groups, which they got to name, and had to find objects of specific colors and different materials within a limited time.

After every group had collected their objects, the whole team was tasked with creating an artwork that represents the Rhineland-Palatinate-Rwandan partnership.

The two days ended with an exciting scavenger hunt. The team had a lot of fun and definitely came away with a positive overall impression!

On 26 September 2026, the partnership was represented at the Civic Reception at the State Chancellery of Rhineland-Palatinate with its own exhibition stand, which was also visited by Minister-President Gordon Schnieder. The reception focused on voluntary engagement in sport and its importance for social cohesion.
Also in September, the municipality of Kallstadt welcomed a delegation from Rwanda, which visited the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve as part of the federal-state programme to develop community-based tourism in Rutsiro District. Kallstadt has been committed to sustainable development and exchange with the district for several years. Mayor Thomas Jaworek has helped foster this connection and has visited Rwanda several times himself.

The visit also offered insights into regional agriculture. At an apple farm in Erpolzheim, the guests and their hosts came together to pick apples and share a meal around a large table. Their conversations touched on different climatic conditions and harvest cycles. While apples in our region are harvested once a year, the climatic conditions in Rwanda allow for two harvest cycles per year for some crops. The group also discussed the challenges facing agriculture in both regions.
A valuable exchange that brings together international partnership, sustainable tourism and a shared commitment to cooperation

Am 26. September 2026 war die Partnerschaft beim Bรผrgerempfang in der Staatskanzlei Rheinland-Pfalz mit einem eigenen Ausstellungsstand prรคsent, den auch Ministerprรคsident Gordon Schnieder besuchte. Im Mittelpunkt des Empfangs stand das ehrenamtliche Engagement im Sport und dessen Bedeutung fรผr den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt.

AuรŸerdem begrรผรŸte die Ortsgemeinde Kallstadt im September eine Delegation aus Ruanda, die im Rahmen des Bund-Lรคnder-Programms zur Weiterentwicklung des gemeindebasierten Tourismus im Distrikt Rutsiro das Biosphรคrenreservat Pfรคlzerwald besuchte. Die Ortsgemeinde engagiert sich seit mehreren Jahren fรผr nachhaltige Entwicklung und den Austausch mit dem Distrikt. Ortsbรผrgermeister Thomas Jaworek begleitet diese Verbindung und war selbst bereits mehrfach in Ruanda.

Dabei standen auch Einblicke in die regionale Landwirtschaft auf dem Programm: Auf einem Apfelhof in Erpolzheim kamen die Gรคste und Gastgeber bei gemeinsamer Apfelernte und einem Essen am groรŸen Tisch ins Gesprรคch. Dabei ging es unter anderem um unterschiedliche klimatische Bedingungen und Erntezyklen. Wรคhrend ร„pfel in unserer Region einmal im Jahr geerntet werden, ermรถglichen die klimatischen Bedingungen in Ruanda bei manchen Kulturen teilweise zwei Erntezyklen. Auch die Herausforderungen der Landwirtschaft in beiden Regionen wurden thematisiert.
Ein wertvoller Austausch, der internationale Partnerschaft, nachhaltigen Tourismus und gemeinsames Engagement verbindet.

From 27 September to 2 October 2026, Staatliches Eilfel-Gymnasium visited its partner school, Petit Sรฉminaire Saint Savio Rwesero in Gicumbi District, Rwanda, to strengthen their partnership.

Students attended a Geography lesson together, worked in groups, shared their school life, and planted trees around the new classrooms.

The group visited Lake Muhazi, the Rwesero School garden, and Akagera National Park, where they enjoyed seeing different wildlife. Back in Kigali, they attended a traditional cooking class and visited Jumelage.

Both schools reviewed projects since 2024 and discussed future plans, including a possible exchange visit by Rwesero students to Germany.

Overall, a successful week of learning, cultural exchange, and friendship.

The Witinya Cooperative focuses on empowerment of vulnerable people in rural areas of the Ruhango district.

The members run activities related to income generation. In this regard, they received a training about cooperatives regulations.

More is to come for a comprehensive capacity building leading to sustainable socio-economic empowerment.

Ihre Mitglieder fรผhren einkommensfรถrdernde Aktivitรคten durch und haben in diesem Zusammenhang eine Schulung zu den Vorschriften fรผr Kooperativen erhalten.

Weitere MaรŸnahmen sind geplant, um die Fรคhigkeiten der Mitglieder umfassend auszubauen und so eine nachhaltige sozioรถkonomische Stรคrkung zu erreichen.

The Mwogo TSS recently received modern equipment for its Fashion Design & Tailoring programme, with the support of its partner Karaba-Neuwied e.V. With the new electric sewing machines, students can move from manual to more efficient production, helping them develop practical skills faster, improve the quality of their products and prepare for the modern fashion industry. During our visit, we also had the opportunity to take a look at the Wood Technology and Automobile Mechanics workshops, which have also been supported by the schoolโ€™s partners in the past.

By equipping young people with modern tools and skills, these partnerships contribute to strengthening technical education, local entrepreneurship and future opportunities for young people in rural areas.

We look forward to seeing what the students create!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die Mwogo TSS hat mit Unterstรผtzung ihres Partners Karaba-Neuwied e.V. kรผrzlich moderne Ausstattung fรผr ihren Ausbildungsbereich Fashion Design & Tailoring erhalten. Mit den neuen elektrischen Nรคhmaschinen kรถnnen die Schรผlerinnen und Schรผler von der manuellen auf eine effizientere Produktion umsteigen. Dadurch kรถnnen sie schneller praktische Fรคhigkeiten entwickeln, die Qualitรคt ihrer Produkte verbessern und sich auf die moderne Modeindustrie vorbereiten. Wรคhrend unseres Besuchs hatten wir auรŸerdem die Gelegenheit, einen Blick in die Werkstรคtten fรผr Holztechnik und Kfz-Mechanik zu werfen, die in der Vergangenheit ebenfalls von dem Partner der Schule unterstรผtzt wurden.

Indem diese Partnerschaften junge Menschen mit modernen Werkzeugen und Fรคhigkeiten ausstatten, tragen sie dazu bei, die technische Ausbildung, das lokale Unternehmertum und die zukรผnftigen Chancen junger Menschen in lรคndlichen Gebieten zu stรคrken.

Wir freuen uns darauf, die kreativen Ergebnisse der Schรผlerinnen und Schรผler zu sehen!

On Sunday, the 35th anniversary of the partnership between the Church District of An Nahe und Glan and the Presbytery of Rubengera was celebrated in Waldbรถckelheim, where the partnership began in 1991. Special guests included Dr. Wibke Jansen (EKiR), Pascal Bataringaya, President of the EPR, and Ute Mruck (VEM).
Over 35 years, the partnership has grown into a strong connection based on mutual support. Following the floods in the Ahr Valley, Rubengera collected donations for the affected region. When Rubengera itself was hit by flooding, the Church District stood by its partner. In 2026, a new joint project on positive masculinity and gender equality will continue this work.

On Thursday, September 3, students, teachers and parents at WHG had the opportunity to taste coffee and tea from Rwanda and talk with guests about their work and daily life. Questions focused on coffee and tea production, from growing and harvesting to processing.
Coffee seeds and seedlings brought from Rwanda were a special highlight. Some will remain at WHG as a reminder of the visit. The encounter was made possible by the newly established Rwanda Club, led by Ms. Klaer and Ms. Staubert-Kuhn. The visit was initiated by Dr. Thomas Jaworek, local mayor of Kallstadt, who is currently welcoming guests from Rwanda. Mr. Eckert from the State Chancellery of Rhineland-Palatinate also joined the event and shared ideas for future projects, a possible partner school and student exchanges.
