Through a series of interactive activities and games, participants had the chance to <strong>break the ice, share experiences<\/strong>, and<strong> make lasting memories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The event kicked off with the<strong> <em>\"Find Somebody Who\"<\/em> <\/strong>photo competition, a fun twist on finding commonalities. Students collaborated to capture photos of each other based on similarities, from shared hobbies to favorite foods.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, everyone joined multiple <strong>Speed-Friending rounds<\/strong>, where students rotated through brief, lively chats to get to know as many people as possible. Laughter and smiles filled the room as participants quickly discovered shared interests and stories.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a <strong><em>Silent Group Quiz<\/em><\/strong> challenged participants to communicate solely via social media\u2014a unique and modern approach that encouraged teamwork in a digital format.<\/p>\n<p>The winning teams celebrated their victories with <strong>vouchers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafe-flocke.de\/\">Caf\u00e9 Flocke<\/a>,<\/strong> where they can continue to connect and enjoy each other\u2019s company in a cozy setting.<\/p>\n<p>The event was a great reminder that building a <strong>supportive social network<\/strong> is possible, even when far from home. We look forward to organizing more events that bring people together, promote well-being, and create opportunities for meaningful connections.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 30th, 2024, our Speed-Friending event took place at the F-S Building, gathering international students from around the world to connect, build friendships, and become part of our community.
