Take Two for the Open House at our Pankow location! Operating a video camera isn’t as easy as it looks, and finding the right lighting in the green room also takes a bit of finesse. Our visitors had plenty of opportunities to try things out and discover the wide range of technical training programs we offer. Of course, our advisors were also on site to answer all questions about the various professions.

On March 22, we spruced up our rooms at the Mitte location and welcomed our visitors with a variety of engaging activities. In addition to entertaining quizzes, there were plenty of exciting ways to experience our foreign languages with all the senses: culinary treats like a tea ceremony and Spanish gazpacho, hands-on fun with trying on traditional Japanese yukata garments, and of course, a taste of the languages themselves in our trial lessons.

What exactly is web design, how do solar technology and 3D printing actually work, how do I turn a sound recording into a real audio product, why does a greenroom have to be green and how do I build a Matchbox truck out of metal? We revealed all this and much more at our Technology Day in Pankow.

What is the difference between a hanbok and a kimono? What makes Cuba so fascinating and how do you spell Japan in Chinese? Or would you even have cracked our online economics quiz? Once again this year, there were four floors of exciting insights and background information on our training programmes.

Did you know…that French was once used as the language of the English Parliament and that the Chinese drink tea differently to the Japanese and Koreans?

Were you aware that the Spanish language has more than 4000 words of Arabic origin and SAP is relatively easy to learn in the basics?

And have you ever wondered what K.I.Z. song titles have to do with SQL?

Well, all this you would have found if you had visited our Open Day event this year. But don’t worry, we'll come up with something new again next year ;-)
