The annual German Press Ball usually attracts quite a bit of attention for its red carpet appearances and high-profile guest list, which included President Joachim Gauck this year.
For example, the description for “preschool refugee swimming”, for children aged three years and up, states that young ones will learn “the right survival swimming to clutch onto ship wreckage remains, dive under high waves, jump from the edge of rubber dinghies and breath control during the night and in the cold”.
