October

16 October, 2:00–5:00 pm – Discover Hamburg & Learn German: Speicherstadt and HafenCity

Join us for a city tour in simple German and discover Hamburg’s historic Speicherstadt warehouse district and the modern HafenCity.

We’ll start on Deichstraße, with its historic half-timbered houses along the canal. From there, we’ll walk to the Speicherstadt, where coffee, cocoa, tea and many other goods were stored from the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century.

Along the way, we’ll learn why the free port and Speicherstadt were built, what was here before, and what you can see today in the area between the Elbphilharmonie and Lohsepark. We’ll also explore HafenCity, Hamburg’s new urban district, and look at how it differs from the historic Speicherstadt.

The tour is open to everyone with German at B1 level or above who would like to experience Hamburg while practicing and improving their German.

13 November , 10:00 am-5:00 pm - Communication across Cultures: An intercultural training for all TUHH students

A workshop for all TUHH students

What does “culture” actually mean in our everyday lives – and how does it shape the way we communicate with each other?

This workshop invites both international and German students to reflect on their own cultural background and discover new perspectives on cultural differences. Together, we will explore how our experiences, perceptions and cultural influences can shape the way we communicate and interact with others.

Together, we’ll take a closer look at how our experiences and perspectives shape the way we communicate. Through practical examples and open exchange, we’ll explore how intercultural misunderstandings can arise and discover ways to navigate different perspectives and challenging situations.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation from our partner InterCultur Hamburg, who will conduct the workshop.

The workshop will be held in English.

Places are limited.
