In today’s episode of our anniversary series, Henriette shares what captured her heart:
Canada’s unique blend of nature and city life.🌿🏙️

In Toronto, you can go from iconic landmarks to peaceful green spaces in just a few blocks. From the CN Tower to the energy of Dundas Square, the Waterfront, bustling Spadina ave, and the scenic views at Riverdale Park, Canada’s biggest city shows how urban life and nature can thrive side by side.

Dans l’épisode d’aujourd’hui de notre série anniversaire, Henni nous raconte ce qui a conquis son cœur :

L’alliance unique entre la nature et la vie urbaine au Canada.🌿🏙️

À Toronto, il suffit de quelques rues pour passer de lieux emblématiques à de magnifiques espaces verts. De la Tour CN à l’effervescence de Dundas Square, en passant par le bord de l’eau, la rue animée de Spadina et les vues paisibles de Riverdale Park, la plus grande ville du Canada prouve que nature et vie urbaine peuvent coexister en harmonie.

🕊️ Congratulations to the 2026 Aachen Peace Prize laureates! 🕊️

We warmly congratulate Palestinians and Jews for Peace (PJFP) from Cologne, Unidos MN, and the Smitten Kitten collective from Minneapolis on receiving the 2026 Aachen Peace Prize.

From Cologne to Minneapolis, this year’s laureates demonstrate that peace is built from the ground up — through dialogue, empathy, solidarity and the courage to stand together across divides. 🤝

PJFP brings together Palestinian, Jewish and other friends in Cologne to promote respectful dialogue and challenge polarization and stereotypes. Unidos MN and The Smitten Kitten exemplify grassroots solidarity and community support in Minneapolis.

Their work reminds us that peace can take many forms — but it always begins with people choosing solidarity over division. ❤️🕊️

Congratulations to all three laureates for this important recognition!

🏆🇩🇪 GOLD AGAIN! 🇩🇪🏆

Germany’s men are FIH Hockey World Champions for the 4th time! 🥇🥇🥇🥇

A 1–0 victory over Spain in Wavre was enough to bring the title home — and Germany now joins Pakistan as the joint record-holder with four men’s Hockey World Cup titles. 🇩🇪🏑✨

🇨🇦 A quick note for our Canadian friends:
Yes, this is hockey.
No, there is no ice.
No, nobody is wearing skates.
And no, the puck is not involved. 😜

It’s field hockey — but we’ll forgive you for being confused. After all, in Canada, “hockey” usually means one very specific thing. 🏒🍁

🇩🇪🇫🇷🇵🇱 The Weimar Triangle: Strengthening Europe Together

Germany, France and Poland work closely through the Weimar Triangle to shape common responses to Europe’s shared challenges.

Born after the Cold War to support European unity, the format remains a powerful engine for cooperation — from foreign and security policy to competitiveness, climate, research and the fight against disinformation.

By bringing together governments, parliaments, civil society and citizens, the Weimar Triangle builds bridges and strengthens Europe’s cohesion. 🇪🇺

Three countries. Different perspectives. One shared European future.
