🔍Recap: Intercultural Session: Understanding German Behavior

📅 Date: June 25, 2025
🕔 Time: 17:00 – 19:00

What makes German communication so direct? Why is punctuality such a big deal? These and other questions were at the heart of our interactive session “German Behavior – Understanding Cultural Norms”, which brought together international students eager to gain deeper insights into everyday life in Germany.

In a lively and engaging discussion, participants explored:

✅ Core aspects of German communication styles and social expectations
✅ The role of structure, rules, and efficiency in German society
✅ Common cultural misunderstandings – and how to avoid them

The event offered not only valuable information but also space for personal stories, questions, and shared experiences. For many, it was a chance to better understand the “unwritten rules” of German culture and feel more confident in navigating life in a new country.

Thanks to everyone who joined and contributed to the open, respectful exchange – we’re looking forward to seeing you at the next session!
