Twinning Event in Switzerland 22/06/2015

Our group made up of 20 members from BPW Nicosia along with BPW Athens President were welcomed at Basel airport by a huge BPW Basel banner and this was followed by a champagne welcome drink at the hotel where we were staying. Our trip included visits to the wonderful Black Forests as well as a barbecue dinner at the home of BPW Basel President Konelia …. We were also taken on interesting sight-seeing trips around the city as well as a visit to the Gauguin museum. One of the highlights of the visit was a stop at the local Parliament with a very interesting presentation by the Basel Obudswoman.

The culmination of the visit was the gala dinner to confirm our twinning agreement. The event was held in the presence of many members of BPW Basel as well as members of BPW international. Our gift to BPW Basel was a silver replica of the Boat of Kyrenia, to symbolise our joint journey together.
As a special surprise for our kind hosts we entertained them with mGreek dances and of course they couldn’t help but join in the fun! So in the heart of the city of Basel one could hear the Hadjidakis and Vamvakaris music and watch the BPW ladies dancing Zorpa the Greek and Frangosiriani
