Hello and welcome to the 12th edition of our study stream um this is a study streamer live stream series of the Centra student advisory service and today’s topic is discover the up services and faces behind the scenes we have so many great and fabulous people and guests um this afternoon so we will
Hope you enjoy our little live streams but first of all we would like to give you some formalities and rules and of course we want to introduce our guests so I hand over to Vera hi I’m Vera also from the central student advisory service and today we
Have two parts and six guests for you and for the part one we have um Fabian Vena from the international office welcome and we have Fiona vuna she’s a writing assistants or writing tutor at the cesco that’s the center for language and key competences and we have Leonard
Hulcher he is my colleague from the career service welcome to you and welcome to everybody and uh we’re very happy to announce our first very first only English speaking uh study stream and uh we also provide a chat for you but we would like to ask you to only um
Ask us general questions and for individual questions we have our email address at the end of the stream and now Kristoff has a little surprise for you yes as a short introduction to our today’s topic we ask the president of the University of Pam of his perspective on the internationalization of the UN
University and our services and advisory offerings so let’s hear what he has to say about the internationalization of the up thank you very much for taking your time to answer our questions as you know this issue of our study streams focuses on the English language advisory and service offerings at the University of
Poan assuming that many International students make use of these Services what would you like them to know about the University of Pam as a center of International Learning and research well first of all I’m very happy that we have so many International students because it’s a strategic goal to increase in the
Number of international students and make the University of Poa more visible all over the world and attract top talent and in order to do that of course youth services are crucial so um people have some kind of onboarding and they learn about the environment they understand what the University of poam
Is all about but also how it is to live in this particular metropolitan area and I think that’s why your services are really invaluable okay thank you very much just let let’s dive into our next question how do International students enrich the learning environment at the University
And what are the benefits of this diversity for the University well it really works both ways I think for the international students regardless where they come from being um in this space pan Berlin will be a wonderful experience I’m sure that they will never forget hopefully and positively remember I remember my time
In California which was an unforgettable period for me and I think U any student who can spend some time abroad um should do so because it’s really important for learning about life but I think having all these International students and researchers here is also important for our German colleagues and students
Because they get exposed to a wide variety of cultures religions orientations and that is also an enriching experience for our German students here in Pon thank you Mr Gunda you just began your third term as president of the University of poam what developments do you wish to see in next
Six years regarding the expansion of English language study programs and English language support and service offerings well we’ve already ramped up the percentage of English language Master programs quite a bit in the last few years I think we’ll add a few more because uh we have made very good
Experiences with those offerings we will also start offering English language Bachelor programs starting with Jewish theology all of this serves to attract top talent from all over the planet of course we have to communicate to all those people out there that they can study here in
English in a region that uh where you can live well without speaking perfect German to start with without tuition which is really um very unusual in the international comparison to be able to study without tuition payments and by communicating this I think we will I’m fairly sure that we’ll attract those top
People to our Bachelor and master programs and then they will be very happy to come across your services to help them with the onboarding as I said before finding um an apartment um just getting settled in a space um that is of course new to them okay thank you very much
Thank you Mr Guna uh Vera it’s your turn to start um the discussion with our guests thank you Kristoff and thank you Kristoff for interviewing our president um and I think as he said um how to live in a environment you know even if they don’t speak perfectly German so to all
The international students excuse us if we don’t speak perfectly English but we will try our best for you so the the world speaks English and so do we here at the University of poam and as we announce in our head of this study stream there’s a variety of English
Taught courses consultations and support at our University and not only for international students but we would like to learn more about it together with you in this stream so we as we promised earlier will provide you with the faces and the stories behind the scenes so
Let’s start with our guests today I have my lovely colleague Fabian Vaya from the international office um and he is taking care about the international students so Fabian how are you and um May you ask my um Quest first question how many International students are currently studying at the University of
Poon yeah hello and uh first of all thank you very much it’s a pleasure to be here currently we have around 2,800 International students who have gained their University entrance qualification from abro Broad and basically the number is increasing each semester that’s quite a number and um
And you are in charge for all of them so that’s a pretty heavy workload I would say um so um what would you say um if you have to describe your daily work could you provide us some insights in the most frequently asked questions so why people come to the international
Office what kind of questions do they have and um some kind of um maybe you tell us about um how is a consolation session usually um taking place when you have um consultation hours actually it’s uh quite hard to pinpoint one specific frequently Asked question so to speak it actually also
Depends on which phase of the so-called student life cycle we basically in at at the moment um in general our advisory service um covers all different types of parts of the um basically of the students life cycle from the application and enrollment over the first days and
Weeks at the University of poam until the end of the studies um currently for instance we receive many requests um on studying at the University of poon so the requirements and so on and so forth um mostly via email but also sometimes via phone and Via Zoom um after the
Admission phase we also receive a lot of questions regarding the enrollment um especially health insurance is always a big topic if I would have to point down one of our major topics that we are actually well asked for all the time is uh visa and residence regulation um but
There the questions are very individualized um it actually depends from case to case but I would say the extension of the residence permit would be one thing that we are asked most of the time during the semester thank you um students from around the world we would say may know
Something about Germany but what if everything is new to them like at the university the you know the as we said the the teaching Culture The Learning culture so maybe they have tons of questions about how to live and study in Germany or do they maybe feel lost in
The academic culture in Germany um I’ve heard you offer some uh Intercultural training workshops in English um maybe you can share some um of your thoughts and experiences and insights yeah actually this is something that we also witness in our daily working life um basically the study system in Germany might be quite
Different to the one that the international students are used to um not only scientific but also cultural wise therefore we have different Supportive Services at the University of poon available um one thing that will be also introduced here today will be the uh writing assistance um we have a tutor
Program we also have a body program that basically should support our new students at the University to kind of on board so to speak um we also you already said that um offer different workshops on Intercultural communication um for our students so that they can also Al
Connect with each other also share their own experiences and um on the same time also gain some Intercultural skills and I think this is something that our students really enjoy so at least from the feedback that we receive thank you Fabian and um we also
Put a link in the chat so if anybody’s interested in in what you’re doing in these trainings then please click the link thank you very much Fabian all the best to you and your daily work and I’ll have hand over to Kristoff uh thank you Fabian for these
Really interesting insights on your work and on the old topic of international students at the University of poam and during their studies these students but also German students will have to write a lot of papers and thesis hence so-called academic writing skills are on the top 10 list of the skills to develop
We would would assume so this leads me to our next guest buch from the cesco the center for languages and key competences welcome it’s great that we have you here and uh what kind of writing skills uh well or writing skill courses in English are you offering Fiona in
Cesco um so hello thank you for inviting me um I am specifically a tutor at the writing assistance within the sess school and um first of all we always offer individual writing assistants appointments in German and in English for all Bachelor and Master’s students of the University so if students have
Any questions about academic writing if they’re currently writing a paper or a thesis even they can make an appointment with us and we will see how we can help and we also offer um English language workshops the next workshops in English um will take place during the summer
Semester um so still a few months away but I can already reveal that there will be a workshop on reading techniques and one Workshop about time management and motivation always important topics I feel like um but there will also be a special kind of Workshop during the
Semester break and that is the English um module paper Workshop this is a Workshop that takes place over multiple sessions um in late February and early March I think um and students can learn how to write a term paper in English step by step um during that Workshop so
If that is something that sounds interesting um I would keep an eye on our website and hopefully further information will be up really soon um there’s also an event coming up our writing night and that is a biannual event during which students can um participate in workshops um they can sit
In writing rooms and work on current writing projects and they can talk to each other and talk to us and in my experience it is always a very fun um and just like delightful atmosphere there and it it’s a good night um yeah and I also have to mention that
Elsewhere at the Tesco there are also courses for example with the um presentation coaching or the language cafes that can help students gain valuable skills in English in English academic skills um yeah wow I mean this sounds amazing so many great workshops and offerings um at
Cesco um when you think about your past workshops uh what are the major obstacles for non-german speaking Learners writing scientific papers during the studies at the up and how do you address them I mean they come from different backgrounds from countries with a different academic history um culture so what are the main
Obstacles okay I I I can’t really give a very general or Universal answer to this of course I think um first of all I can’t really speak for everyone or for other people’s experiences um and I think it’s also very individual um some people just find it
Quite hard to come up with a research question um all the requirements um for a final thesis and other people just really don’t like to write but that is also the case for some um German speaking students um I think one situation that can be problematic is um
Something that Fabian already brought up um which is when someone is um has previous experiences in a completely different University system with um very different assignments and then it can be tough to figure out what they’re supposed to do here and it can be a bit
Scary even um because there’s a lot of bureaucracy and um yeah um but my recommendation is always talk to your fellow students uh talk to your lecturers that’s their job you can ask them um it’s always good to reach out and you can also talk to us and I’m sure
Someone will be happy to help out um yeah funa you’ve got quite a bit of experience uh working with the students um in this um field um can you share some success stories or experiences where your support services made a significant impact on a student’s academic Journey uh we would love to
Hear about your success stories um yeah so we’re always happy when we get positive uh feedback and people tell us that we were able to really help them and some sometimes we get chocolate so that is nice but if I had to talk about one um recent example
There was a student who made an appointment with me um this winter and we had a look at the final chapter of her Bist thesis and um I gave her a checklist and she was just doing some finishing touches but then she started talking about how she credits our team
Um with her being able to write her veget CIS which is so surprising to me um but she told me that she’s from a non-germane speaking non-english-speaking country and she found the prospect of having to write her final thesis in German really difficult but my coworker um gave a
Presentation in a seminar that this student was taking a year ago and that’s how she got materials and that’s um she stayed in contact with that student and so the student just felt quite supported and empowered and she ended up writing her cus and I thought that was really
Great and I think she will do brilliantly and um yeah that’s a very happy story I think wow that’s what we want to hear in our study stream here all these success stories great thank you very much Fiona for your insights and I would like to hand over to ver for the next
Part all right thank you thank you Fiona for for the insights very impressive and also we put a link um of um your writing night on the 7th of March this year in our chat for all those students who are watching the streams after our live
Stream and also welcome to all of them and welcome to lonard my colleague from the career service who joined me um in a previous study stream also in English but a very short one but thanks for having you thanks for coming again we’re very happy having you um you’re working
At the career service and you’re also supporting international student students to get a picture of their future professional field of work not only but also in Germany um after completing their studies how would you describe your consultation and support service at the career service hello and thanks for having me
Back um at the career service we support all students in German and English to find their own professional paths um during their studies or after their um graduation for example we also um offer individual counseling appointments during which those are one-on-one meetings and during those we um students
Can ask all kinds of questions on jobs on internships on volunteering um on stud assistantships even if they don’t know what to do after graduation and um in these counseling appointments we also offer application document feedback so you can come with a CV at letter of motivation and we um give you some
Comments whether or not they are good fit for a position that you apply for um next to Council we also offer seminars and networking events um seminar and workshops teach also as F earlier said is the curricular skills um such as rhetorics project managements or how to write meaningful application
Documents and during the networking events we invite professionals back to University um often those are alumni of our University and they share their own um experiences their own career paths they give insights into their everyday work life and they are they have to answer questions you Q and A at the end
Um we also run a job portal where all students can find open positions like internships um as student assistants or full-time positions after graduation yeah wow cool that’s really also impressive um so we have onboarding sort of with Fabian and then writing assistance with Fiona and we have you
You know completing the studies and then um you know what about a job in Germany do you have like Fiona I mean this is not a battle but we would love to hear more storytelling from you guys so um what are your stories about you know feedback from International students
About um your services any feedback or any story you want to share with us sure so um in general students are very pleased that they found our office um even if many consult us very late in the very late phase of their studies where the topic of um job search becomes
Quite urgent so in this um since I would um encourage you to reach out to the career service um already early in your studies um if you have questions about your professional development if you don’t know what to do after your studies or with your studies or next to your
Studies um reach out to us even in your first semester some students um inform us when they found a job successfully applied for a job and as F said it’s always nice to give this get this feedback to receive the feedback that we were able
To to make a change to um to make a very small contribution in successfully applying so that’s always great and we appreciate that a lot thank you very much and while you guys are talking I was thinking kristo this is like the student life circle we have here with Fabian Fiona and Leonard
Um and lonard are there any future uh interesting future projects in the pipeline you want to share with us um yeah in fact um we’re currently changing our seminar program and soon have an updated list on of events um seminars extracurricular activities also in English and increasingly English as
Well and we are launching a program soon which creates and also employs new student assistants also in English language so um in this sense I would say stay tuned um visit our website once in a while uh of course we also visible and present in many University newsletters
Or um on the Instagram account of the up yeah yeah and you can do that also thank you Leonard if you click um the links in our chat as magdalina and here’s a hello from us to our back end magdalina she’s uh helping us with the chat and uh you
Find also a link of the career service here for all those people who are watching the stream later on um so as the president said in his uh words to to all of us um I would like to ask you um he said something about it’s
Also um let’s say fruitful for us for the for a German University to have a lot of international students so what would you say um what can we learn from each other how does diversity of international students contribute to our Intercultural sensitivity and understanding within the university um Community what would you
Say any um all of us Fabian Fiona Leonard anything about Mutual learning that you want to maybe I can start a bit so um generally I mean we all have to do with people from different backgrounds and it’s always very interesting to see um from what different background they come from
Which stories they bring with them and which histories they actually have and also which perspectives so it’s a very enriching to work in in international and also Intercultural environment in general and I think cultural diversity is not only interesting to learn from others but also to learn a little bit
From ourselves so as a key word maybe self reflection um that we can also gain more experience and more perspectives from this people too um just as a little insight from my daily work in that regard wonderful thank you Fiona Leonard anybody like a last
Word lard yeah I’d also like to add that um yeah I think it doesn’t matter what background if it’s a study related or geographical background it’s really enriching for everyone um students in the seminars um who are interacting with another but also um with employees of the university and I think everyone um
If there’s more diversity in every sense in any sense um everyone is becoming more aware of the different backgrounds expectations and of the needs every individual has so that’s really enriching thank you Fiona maybe I can very quickly add um in my own experience from my master’s degree ree which is a
Very International one um what I tend to notice is that people who come from different countries and have their um schooling in different countries tend to have very different um general knowledge or knowledge of literature for example that’s when I noticed that there are some blind spots in my knowledge so it
Can be interesting what’s kind of canonical somewhere else um yeah wonderful thank you so much the three of you and um I would like to say so much thank you from my side and um goodbye to you because now I hand over to Kristoff for our second round and
We’re introducing three new guests and faces yeah thank you for me as well it was really nice to have you and I’ve learned so much guys so I byee Bye by Fabian and by Fiona and let’s introduce our students this is hello Claudia and hello Hanah and Alexandra
And first of all I would like to introduce our new guests um this is uh Claudia she is an integration tutor for international students at our faculty for economics and social sciences welcome it’s great to have you you here hi hi everyone and there is Alexandra and
Hannah um who are part of our buddies program hello it’s great to have you as well hello thank you so much for having us thank you uh let’s dive into our next questions for our next block of questions um guys we just learned by the greeting words of our president that
Enhancing the global reputation and academic standing of the University of poam is key to him to the president but of course to us as well and crosscultural collaboration and resource Pro projects have indeed been enriched by the presence of international students so most interesting for us now is how does the University’s commitment
To internationalization and diversity looks like on a daily basis and therefore we have invited you guys and I’m more than happy to welcome you in the Stream our students and take care of international students and get some insights of your daily commit commitment Alexandra and Hannah you’ve signed up for the
So-called body program at the up which means one body from here is supporting another body from abroad from another country how did you become involved and what motivated you to P participate in the program yes so I’m the Budd from the unipam and um yeah I was abroad myself and I
Thought it was such a good opportunity to have people or to be in contact with people who were local to near the area or the university already so I wanted to provide that help that I experience as well and besides that um I’m also studying English so I actually wanted to
Um yeah learn a bit more or not get rusty at the language but unfortunately Hann Hannah and I will only speak German because her German is so good but yeah that was my part yeah um I’m Hannah I am originally from Australia um I’m from UTS in Australia who is I think a
Partner Pro a partner University with uh University of potam and I came across the Buddy program when I was completing my application for um for the UN of potam it was an extra box that you could tick and it piqued my interest and I thought um it would be a great
Opportunity to meet someone that knows their way around the university and another way to make a friend and get used to speaking some more German and it’s even better that you both are here in the same box in the same room it’s it feels that you’re
Really a buddy buddy couple um so Hannah and Alexandra what are your primary roles and responsibilities um as a body in the program and how do you support the integration of international students into the university com Community I mean this is more a question for you Alexander than to Hannah because
You’re the German part of of the couple yeah I would say in general the PO somebody has yeah has to be the first Conta kind of um to the big Journey the uh international student does um so they should kind of um exchange details in an email or meet
Up in the couple of first weeks um and then afterwards um ask for help from time to time and um in general you and your body can decide um how often you meet um but of course it’s yeah good to to um have some space let them like just settle and then try
To ask for for any help if that’s needed and Hannah from your point of view what are the be benefits of the P body program for for you as an international students coming to Germany I mean Australia is far away from Germany so I mean I I don’t know if it’s
There’s a place that is more like far away from Germany that than Australia right um yeah I guess you could say that um the Buddy program it was it was really nice just knowing that I had someone on the other side um Alex sent me an email probably about two or three
Weeks before I even left or departed Australia to come here so knowing that there was someone already there that kind of knew who you were knew you were coming and was ready to help you was a really comforting feeling so just knowing that you got someone on the
Other side to support you was was super important it made that that step a lot easier for me I think um just knowing that there’s going to be someone that can show you around the uni maybe show you around podam um to be fair we did
Meet in Berlin the first time we met but just having someone to to really show you the ropes um it was also I think important for me like a social integration thing um I think Germany as a whole is a is a bit of a culture shock for someone I mean for me
It was um coming from Australia just kind of understanding the cultural differences it was nice to have someone there with you when you’re I don’t know first going into a cafe or first ordering something it was nice to have someone show you those ropes so that you kind of understand what role you’re
Taking in society I guess um language was definitely a big thing a benefit for me um I’m lucky I come from a a family that has German in it so we did speak a bit of German at home but having someone to practice that German with again so I
Wasn’t getting rusty I found really really helpful and then I think just from a personal standpoint like a personal growth thing as much as you grow doing an exchange it’s nice to have someone to help you grow as well it was just important to have that person on
The other side so it was really nice yeah the sounds amazing really cool thank you for your insights um the last question for you both is more I mean we talked a lot about challenges from different cultural backgrounds coming from Brad to Germany um what do you think are the common challenges for
International students when they are coming to Germany for I mean it’s studying abroad for them right like it is for for us when we go abroad so and how yeah what are the common challenges and how does a body program um address these challenges um I for example when I first
Got here I think I got here three or four weeks before the uni semester began so we hadn’t actually chosen our subjects or chosen our classes yet and I was quite overwhelmed with the bureaucracy side of things so organizing which classes I had to do how many
Classes I had to do I think think at this point I didn’t have my uni email yet so it was a bit of a struggle trying to figure out how and when to do things um but with Alex we went and sat down in a cafe she took me through it on her
Side of things showed me what all the different websites looked like like Moodle and all that and just really took it through with me step by step and showed me and she even made me a plan like she made my study plan for me and really helped me in that regard so I
Think that was the major challenge or the major stress for me when I got here just really organizing everything so that I was set up for the year and Alex just really made that a lot easier for me like a way a lot lot easier but yeah
That was probably so so so mostly the formal stuff like the new programs new rules and regulations and all the stuff in a way yeah yeah that was a big part I think also the social part of things like introduced me to some of her friends and we did a few things each
Week we’d go for a walk or we went bowling one time so just even that integration into just German life and at Uni like showing me the mens are and things like that I thought was a very good way of integrating into German University life and it was also the
Other way around that um I got to know new people through Hannah as well so that was really nice and I can encourage people um because sometimes it bit difficult um when you’re in class and they are international students um maybe there’s like some yeah fear to not speak the language
Or something um but I would encourage to be open to to the Internationals to new people in general um yeah because it’s um yeah an opportunity for both MH guys it’s so great to hear St uh story thank you so much um for joining
Us for this live stream um and if you um our viewers want to join the body program it’s really easy just click on the link uh in the comments and then you will find all the information how to apply for our body program and for our
Next guest Vera I hand over to you for the next couple of questions thank you Kristoff um but first of all I I would like to thank Hannah and Alexandra thank you so much for sharing especially Alexandra as you said um if we you know see International students don’t leave
Them behind talk to them even if the English language is not perfect like us we don’t speak 100% perfect um more important is to communicate and to get to know each other for Mutual learning and more um and um I really really appreciate that you two are here because
Then we have like a life example of how you know Mutual understanding and learning can work work and how much fun it it can be and now Claudia I would like to ask you you are one of the so-called integration tutors for international students at the University of poam you
Are especially at the faculty of economics and social science um you are in charge of taking care of international students at your um faculty con Consulting I guess um please share with us um how did you come become involved what motivated you to become a tutor and of course what are the
Experiences um you made during your time um and also maybe outstanding stories not only successful ones but uh please share with us thank you um so hi everyone um thank you for the invitation I’m glad to be here and um yeah share this experience with you um so first of
All your question was how did I become involved um and actually I’ve been working with International students um sometime before I came a tutor already um I’ve been a research assistant before and I’ve also been in charge of other um exchange programs um like at the moment
I am responsible for another um Exchange program at the University of poam and so I’ve kind of always been in this International context and yeah so from this basis it was not such a big leap to becoming a tutor point the international students um then my experience um so
First of all maybe I should um tell you what we are actually doing so basically they are um different tutors in uh for um different faculties and I’m a responsible for students who study a business administration than economics and um basically we answer questions about um the curriculum like um ETS points p
Um how to make a study plan um the time schedule and stuff like this and um yeah I think my overall um experience is very good the students are very friendly and um most of the questions that they are are also quite easy to answer but sometimes there also
Questions that are quite specific um like Fabian Vena also said um sometimes it’s a bit tricky to answer but in general I would say that um yeah it’s it’s a good task and my overall experience is quite good yes wonderful thank you so much and um
Uh I learned that you also work in the cooperation with China with the UB um um is this like an an active cooporation an exchange at the moment or is this on holdall due to Corona um no it’s active at the moment it was on hold during the corona period
For I think two or three years and where we had to stop the whole Corporation um because the campus was closed and everything um but um in the last semester we already had um two students who went um to China and they already came back and yeah we’re trying to get
The ball rolling again at the moment wow wonderful good to hear that it’s um um getting started again um so um the three of you I have a question um to all of you um could you describe a short memorable cross-culture moment um another story from maybe you um Claudia
If you have something about or with China or Australia or any other country um that you want to um share as an example I mean you have your you told your story but maybe you have another one for us um because what we think most important is the um face tof face and
And interaction between people so we try in this stream to provide as much as possible for personal stories so maybe CLA do you have a a story from from from or with China or any other country um first um I would say that um if we’re talking about um
Cross culture i thing my personal experience is that um because a lot of um students that um we have to do with AF from erasmos and the students are mostly not all but the majority of them comes from Europe and I think for the cultural thing there are not such big
Differences um at least as I experienced it um and actually it’s like you said the major cultural differences occur in Asian countries from from my um experience um for example the teaching is very different um in Germany and for example in China and I know that the Chinese students when they come here
They’re always very shy and they never talk and then this the teacher asks something and then they always like oh please don’t ask me and um this is really a thing that is very um yeah present or very visible and yeah it can also Ure for European students because
You know when you’re in a different country you have maybe problems with the language you get have to get used to the culture you have to get used to the regul ations for the University so people are always very different but I think the Asian students are Al most of
The time quite shy and try to hide away a little bit and I think that is really uh yeah easy to notice and a bit tricky to handle sometimes yeah yeah I made same experiences um and I was also interested in as Hannah said you were also overwhelmed when coming to Germany even
Though one might think that our cultures are more um more likely but maybe they’re not and also it’s also overwhelming sometimes um even for German students you know they also um give us the feedback that there’s so many things to do so to to handle all at
Once so um this is um yeah this is something we have to work on um Alexander Hannah do you have another story maybe from another country yeah so we both live in a student accommodation and there are also many um International students so maybe you have an cultural exchange there I remember um
In I think it was November or December and there were like little lights outside um and yeah it was some like festival or something that was really cute and yeah exchanging recipes or something yeah I was invited to a friend on my floor at my student accommodation she was from
Bangladesh and she offered to make a um traditional Bangladesh uh meal for me and I was able to learn how to how to eat it properly with my hands and everything and that was a really great cultural exchange that I experienced here as well um but yeah for us too I
Think the best example of our cultural exchange is I’ve come and I’ve lived here for a year and we’ve became such great friends that Alex is now also coming to visit me in Australia so she’ll get to experience my culture now as well so that opportunity has arisen
From us becoming friends as well through through the university and through the Buddy program as well so wonderful thank you thank you all very very much um as we can see from China Australia you come to Germany learn something about people from Bangladesh this is how the world is
Going to be connected and uh I thank you very much for joining us um and um yes uh now sorry Kristoff I would like to hand over yeah to you yeah thank thank you guys Claudia Alexandra and Hannah for for having having you here in our stream I think the president would be
Really proud of you I I think he would be really proud uh of all of us um for this stream thank you very much um I would like to um announce our next stream already which is um the uh Edition number 13 which takes place in February on the 21st of February and
