Welcome Center Events
German for Beginners
from 6th June to 11th July | online on Tuesdays 1:30-2.30 p.m.
The Welcome Center Telegrafenberg has created a German course for scientists who would like to learn some German and meet other internationals.
Who can participate? Scientists (and their partners) from the University of Potsdam, the GFZ, the AWI, the PIK, the AIP and the HPI. German language skills are not required.
What to expect? This is not a professional German course. Therefore, neither certificates can be issued nor exam preparation offered. Instead, the aim is to give a first impression of the German language and culture and the opportunity to meet other internationals outside their own work groups.
Costs and Registration? No tuition fee.
Please register by 6th June via e-mail to: welcome-centerugfz-potsdampde
Wir freuen uns auf euch! (We are looking forward to meeting you!)
Bike Tour
18th June | 11:00 a.m.
This month we will be taking a bike tour through Potsdam’s beautiful surroundings. We will take routes along the river Havel and the surrounding beautiful lakes until we reach the little town of Werder! There you can either stay to wander around the picturesque old town or have a picnic or you can join us on the way back to Potsdam! There is also a train station there, for those of you who would like to take a more relaxed way back. The tour is going to take around 1,5h. Please keep in mind that you already need to be able to ride a bike well so that you can keep up with the group!
Please send us a short message when you would like to participate.
