Hi friends,
unplanned encounters are back: We found ourselves dancing on Unter den Linden on a Friday night while tourists, families and young people from around the world would move their little toes to some good music in unity. Music is unmistakably the language that everybody understands, if we would have needed another proof to attest that at all.
More on the project in the links below - plus some colorfully curated job board as well as a handful of other recommendations.
Have a great Sunday 🥁
Julia
