Our organisation, the OIK (Organisation for International Contacts), is a non-profit organisation, which arranges music programmes in Germany and Europe for people from all countries in the world to promote international understanding and to improve for people of different countries the knowledge of other cultures and languages.

OIK arranges homestay programmes, study tours, sport tours, music tours and more.

Since 1981 OIK organises its own annual International Youth Music Festival which will take place this year from 17 to 24 July 2008 in the Bavarian town of Ansbach and next year again from 17 to 24 July 2009 in Bavaria.
Choirs, bands, jazz and folklore groups are welcome to join in to this international musical get-together (for details please have a look at the attached festival brochures).
