* To symbolically liberate the upcoming year, papier-mâché dolls are crafted and subsequently incinerated.
* Australia:
* Sydney commemorates each month of the preceding year with a minute of fireworks.
* The people celebrate under the open sky at around 23 degrees Celsius.
* New Zealand:
* New Zealand, often at a beachside location at about 20 degrees Celsius, is one of the first countries to welcome the New Year.
* South Africa:
* The most grandiose public New Year's Eve celebration in Africa occurs in Cape Town, amidst 28 degrees of summertime weather. Live concerts are ubiquitous and families congregate to partake in the revelry and to barbecue.
* On New Year's Day, the beaches are teeming with people meeting up with camping chairs, picnic baskets, and buoyant music under the sun.
The team from International EXPERIENCE e.V. extends their gratitude to all host families, parents, adolescents, caregivers, and colleagues for their commitment and eagerly awaits many motivated applicants for the 2024/25 departure.
