Care Concept Welcome to Germany Scholarship: Elaheh's 4th report: Berlin during the holidays

Scholarship Welcome to Germany german culture honestyGerman culture

Secret SantaSince living in Berlin for 6 months now, I have learned a lot about the German culture. I now know that honesty and rules in general are highly appreciated here. People like to talk about things that go wrong and then try to correct them. Therefore, it is not surprising to me that Germany has developed itself into one of the strongest industrialized countries after the Second World War. Here you work hard for your goals and respect the rules and structures of the country.

Scholarship Welcome to Germany JobinterviewJobinterview

A week ago, I had a job interview for a position as a social worker in an institute (The Red Thread), which focuses on socio-pedagogical educational assistance for children with disabilities. I found the job advertisement online and after 3 months, I received the invitation for the interview by phone. I was very nervous. After all, this was my first interview in German language in Berlin, for a job I really wanted to have. So no wonder, right? Since I knew how important honesty here in Germany is, I spoke openly and honestly about my strengths, but also about my weaknesses (e.g. that I don't speak German very fluently) during the interview.
They were very nice and made the impression that they loved their job. I am very proud of myself that I have the opportunity to work with them and can't wait to start my new job and learn many new things. As a foreign student in Germany, I am allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours a week, which I can't complain about.


Events in BerlinEvents in Berlin

Nie alleinSince we are currently still on semester break, I have a lot of time to get to know the city and its exciting events even better. The International Green Week will take place in Berlin from 17 to 26 January. So many different countries will be presenting themselves and their organic products and food. The day ticket for students costs 5€, which is very fair, isn't it? I really enjoyed trying so many different dishes, wines and desserts from countries all over the world. From Africa, to the Middle East and Asia, to the Balkans, Western Europe and Scandinavia. To be honest, this was the biggest food festival I have ever been to! But photos can describe it much better than I can in words.


Art scene in BerlinArt scene in Berlin

Wie ich die Feiertage verbringe Every weekend I find myself in different galleries. I really enjoy this international artistic atmosphere here. So many different artists, also from New York, present their work here in Berlin. But even if you are not an artist yourself (like me) Berlin does not exclude you from the scene. That's one of the things that make this city so lovable to me.
