Blog: ASSIST Event – Christmas Party on 10th December 2024

On 10 December 2024, our annual Christmas party with the students took place in a festively decorated atmosphere at Villa Eberhardt. The event was a complete success and put all participants in a cheerful and reflective Christmas mood. The evening began with a warm welcome from Petra and Klaus, who emphasized the importance of the celebration for the ASSIST community. Afterwards, guests were able to help themselves to a sumptuous buffet of delicious food and drinks. The selection ranged from traditional Christmas dishes to international delicacies prepared by the students and staff. Another highlight of the evening was singing Christmas carols together. Under the direction of Alf, classics such as ‘Silent Night’ and ‘O Christmas Tree’ were sung. The musical accompaniment by a Chinese student on the piano and the enthusiasm of the participants created a particularly festive atmosphere.
During the evening, a ceremonial presentation of the ‘Hall of Fame’ certificates was held. The awards recognized the students’ participation in ASSIST activities. Gudrun and Klaus personally presented the certificates and small gifts to 5 Students, accompanied by appreciative words and applause from the audience.

The Christmas party ended in a convivial atmosphere, where the participants were able to talk for
a long time about what they had achieved in 2024.
This Christmas party was our way of saying “Thank You” for being a part of the ASSIST family. 
We created new memories, share laughter, and do look forward to the bright future of ASSIST
in 2024. Many thanks to the organizer and the participating Students.

Happy Christmas and a good year 2025 to all.
