Over the past few months, I had the privilege of attending two insightful events organized by LiNK Cooperation at Kaleidoscoop in Strasbourg. These experiences not only broadened my perspective on entrepreneurship and intercultural exchange but also provided a platform to connect with inspiring individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Pitch Night – Presenting My Business Idea
On December 1st 2023, I had the opportunity to participate in LiNK’s Pitch Night, where entrepreneurs presented innovative projects bridging France and Germany. Among the exciting pitches—covering topics from sustainable food solutions to language learning platforms—I introduced my idea for an online German school for immigrants. The goal of this initiative is to help newcomers integrate more easily by mastering the language and understanding the cultural context of their new home.
The evening was filled with engaging discussions, valuable feedback, and the exchange of ideas on how to create a sustainable future for both people and the planet. It was inspiring to see the passion and dedication behind every project, proving that entrepreneurship can be a powerful force for positive social change.
Interculturality Workshop – Understanding & Applying Cultural Awareness
Another enriching experience was the Interculturality Workshop facilitated by Agata de Latour, where we explored how cultural differences shape our daily interactions and entrepreneurial journeys. Held in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this workshop provided practical insights on how to navigate intercultural spaces, whether in business or personal life.
As someone deeply involved in entrepreneurship and adult education, I found this session incredibly relevant. Understanding cultural nuances is essential for any entrepreneur, especially in a cross-border region like France and Germany. The discussions and activities reinforced the importance of cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and effective communication in today’s globalized world.
🚀 Let’s keep building bridges, sharing knowledge, and creating meaningful impact together!
