"He helps me in many subjects," says Christelle, who has been living in Germany for about a year and attends the Neue Oberschule Gröpelingen, a secondary school in the north-western city of Bremen.

Sometimes when musician Hesham Hamra plucks the strings of his oud, he is flooded with images of his homeland, Syria. "Every now and then I close my eyes and go from our house in Damascus to a friend's flat in my head," he says. "Then I smell the scent of jasmine on the streets." "Jasmine" is also the name of a virtuoso piece he composed for the Ensemble Colourage from Ludwigshafen, a German city located roughly between the French border and Frankfurt. Colourage is a poetic play on words made up of colour, courage and collage. The group chose it as they sought to bring together music from the ...

Esther doesn't seem to notice the expansive landscape, the distant line of mountains across the border in Tanzania or the thorn acacias dotting the savannah. Eyes shining, the 11-year-old in her blue and red school uniform gazes at the new dormitory building at her school, Ol Donyo Oibor Primary in Kimana in southern Kenya.

For Esther and 95 other girls from the Maasai people, the start of the new school year marks a new era. They will live in the school during the school year inst...

The sound of Taylor Swift's song "Shake It Off" echoes powerfully through the Protestant Heiliggeistkirche church in the old centre of Heidelberg, a medieval university town in south-west Germany. Singer Tine Wiechmann stands at the microphone at the front, accompanied by band members on piano, bass and drums. The church's pastor, Vincenzo Petracca, claps along enthusiastically. The visitors sway and dance in their seats, many of them singing along to the 34-year-old's global hit. About 1,200 people from all age groups attend two pop church services with live music by Taylor Swift. Almost all ...

In one of the newest gripping narratives from us at the dpa trends & features desk, we visit a modern karate centre in Okinawa to find out. Each feature comes illustrated with high-quality photos ready for publication online or in print. D...

Immersive art shows are all the rage, enveloping viewers in works displayed on an outsize scale and in a range of different media. Often the shows involve digital displays, projecting works by Claude Monet or Salvador Dalí onto the walls of huge exhibition halls, so viewers feel like they are in the painting itself. That saturates viewers in colours and shapes as they explore the elaborate shows that are often accompanied by music. Sometimes, the artists' biographies are told on film, too. Organizers say visitors can surrender themselves to the intoxicating power of the images - in shows that ...
