Our guests and agenda:

// 10:30–11:30: Intercultural Communication (with Francesca Radulescu)
How cultures differ in the way they communicate.
Understand patterns, differences and even your own cultural background, and learn to adapt it to the German one.

// 11:35–13:00: Prototype Your Career (with Matthes Lindner)
Treat career and purpose as something to prototype.
Design a professional life that works for you, using principles from life design, rapid prototyping, effective altruism, and futures thinking.

Disclaimer: There is a lunch break. Please provide food from home. There is a cafeteria nearby as well. We will provide coffee and snacks.

// 14:15–15:45: Intercultural Misunderstandings (with Robert Gerzmann)
When is a misunderstanding culturally determined, and when is it not? What other causes might there be?

// 15:45–16:00: Closing & Networking

Bring a friend, bring your questions, or just bring yourself. Registrations are open!
We'd love to see you there!
