Workshop – Living and Working in Germany

If you are new to Germany or planning to move to Germany in the near future, whether for professional or personal reasons, you may be wondering what to expect and what will be expected of you. Do you want to know what it means when you are invited for coffee and cake in Germany? Why do German colleagues greet each other with “Mahlzeit” during lunchtime? Why do I not get a chance to speak in team meetings, even though I have something to say? How do I show respect? What builds trust, and how do I make friends both personally and professionally? Living and working in Germany can be an exciting but also challenging experience. The work and daily culture can significantly differ from your home country. There are differences, but also commonalities that can help you adapt to your new environment and feel comfortable.
