Living an immigrant´s life // What it takes to thrive in Germany

This empowerment series is designed for immigrants who want to connect and share with others on a variety of meaningful topics. In a casual, relaxed, and safe-space environment, we will discuss subjects such as how to thrive in Germany, emotional challenges (e.g., loneliness, racism), and strategies for dealing with them, among others. The meetings will be led and coordinated by psychologist Evelyne Waithira Müller and Dr. Annah Keige-Huge who is a coach and trainer. Evelyne immigrated to Germany 19 years ago, and Dr. Annah Keige-Huge has also spent over 25 years in Germany. The sessions will be conducted primarily in English (although communication in German is also possible). The program will take place online from 18:30 to 20:45 Hrs and will run over the course of 6 Mondays. You can join all sessions or simply attend on the days when the topics are most relevant to you. The dates and topics are as follows:

09.02. – What is my migration story? And the phases of adjusting to a new environment
