06. November, 1:15-5:15pm - Workshop for Creative Writing
Just write. See what happens.
Welcome to the TU Writing Workshop.
This literary adventure is all about the joy of writing. Free from pressure to perform or the need for perfection, you will experiment with the German language and develop your own personal writing style. Along the way, you will learn useful grammar tools that will help you express yourself creatively and in a variety of ways.
Our writing formats range from fictional short stories and autobiographical narratives to surrealist essays. On top of that, you will discover typical Hamburg vocabulary and find out why mistakes can sometimes be the beginning of a good story.
Curious to see what you might create? Then come and write with us!
For our first session, we will start with a Writing Walk through Harburg. We will head out together, gather impressions along the way, and see what they inspire us to write.
Recommended German level: B1 or higher

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.
13. November, 18:00-21:00 pm - ArtRoom Workshop

No experience needed—just come as you are. All materials are provided, and a professional artist will guide you along the way.
We’ll wrap things up with a small exhibition at TUHH, where you can showcase what you’ve created.
