The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forests for the Federal State of Bavaria organized in the spring a symposium on professional education in domestic services. The central lecture was by Professor María Pía Chirinos, Vice-Rector of the University of Piura, in Peru. Some one hundred people attending the symposium were offered reflections on the unifying force of domestic service among individuals, families and communities. Gertrud Gormann, in turn, director of the Domestic Management Center for Cologne’s Campus Müngersdorf, suggested some ways to stir up young people’s interest in service in the home.
