For those who moved to Germany without speaking German — what was your first month really like? Hey everyone, I'm researching how expats adapt to the German workplace culture and language in their first months, especially people who arrived without speaking German and had to start a job almost immediately. Specifically, I'd like to understand what was actually hard, what you wished you'd known, and what tools (if any) helped you survive the first weeks. If you moved to Germany within the last 12 months for work, I'd love to hear your story over a 20-minute Zoom/Google Meet call! DM me or drop a comment if you're up for it. Would especially love to hear from people who started a job within their first month here. Danke!
Experience with Ausländeramt Ausländerbehörde in Passau: How was it for you? There is a recent case of a woman being deported very sudden after living and working in Passau for more than 6 years. Apperantly she faced major bureaucratic obstacles which made it impossible for her to fulfill the requirements of the Ausländerbehörde. regarding this case more people spoke out about their problems with Ausländerbehörde Passau. so I wanted to ask about your expieriences? German below Where you confronted with a lot of obstacles/racism? Do you work in the Ausländerbehörde and know about intern processes? Im am researching for an article and would be very happy about your help! Es gab kürzlich den Fall einer Frau, die nach über sechs Jahren Aufenthalt und Arbeit in Passau völlig überraschend abgeschoben wurde. Offenbar stieß sie auf erhebliche bürokratische Hürden, die es ihr unmöglich machten, die Auflagen der Ausländerbehörde zu erfüllen. Im Zusammenhang mit diesem Fall haben sich weitere Personen zu Wort gemeldet und von ihren Problemen mit den Passauer Ausländerbehörden berichtet. Deshalb möchte ich nach euren Erfahrungen fragen. Sind Sie auf viele Hindernisse oder Rassismus gestoßen? Wie waren eure Erfahrungen? Arbeiten Sie bei der Ausländerbehörde und kennen die internen Abläufe? Ich recherchiere für einen Artikel und wäre eure Unterstützung sehr dankbar!
if you are an expat living in Ireland, Germany or Belgium, i would also love to hear from you about your experience. #journorequest
Calling Berlin-based voices 🇩🇪 (education project in Japan on immigration) I’m currently supporting an education project that started with the idea of helping students in Japan learn more about the world 🌏 🇯🇵 We’re now creating short video content, and I’m looking to film a few 10-minute in-person interviews in Berlin around immigration and living in Germany. I’m currently looking to speak with: • a high school student with an immigration background • someone working in immigration policy or research • someone who moved to Germany for work The videos will be used as learning material for high school students in Japan. If you or someone in your network might be open to this, I’d really appreciate an introduction 🙏 (And I can offer some Japanese green tea in return 🍵☺️) Thanks so much!

Looking To Interview Belgian, Dutch, And/German Game Devs! Hello everyone! My name is Kris and I’m looking to interview any game developers from Belgium, Germany, or the Netherlands either currently working or who have formerly worked in any of these countries! I have special interest in anybody who is working in VR/AR/ Mixed Reality of any kind, but any game developer meeting the criteria is welcome! I’m hoping to conduct an interview sometime this week over Zoom, and my availability is really open, so I’m willing to make time. I wanna ask some questions about the European games industry, and compare it to the American games industry. The interview shouldn’t take long maybe 10 to 15 minutes max. Regardless, any help would be greatly appreciated!
