Questions about living and working in Dresden after your studies?

This is an opportunity for students to connect in an international atmosphere and network with companies and employees.

As part of this series, former international students will share their experiences with you and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and make contacts.

The guest speakers will be former international students from TU Dresden and other universities who work at various companies in Dresden.

The "Stammtisch" takes place in a relaxed atmosphere with conversations and impulses at the InterLokal-Social Hub in the Dresden Neustadt. If you like, you can round off the evening with some board games.
The event is free of charge.

This Event is especially useful for Students studying in Dresden and its surroundings.

In our fast-paced, globalized world, authenticity often gets pushed aside. Introductions usually follow a predictable pattern: What’s your name? Where are you from? What do you do? But do these labels capture who you truly are? Or are they simply masks to help others place you into familiar boxes?

Imagine an immersive experience where we can set aside these identities and connect on a human-to-human level. In an intercultural environment, this kind of connection is especially powerful. Despite our different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, we can create a bond that transcends these boundaries and celebrates our shared humanity.

During Authentic Connections: In just a few minutes, you may uncover new aspects of who you really are and feel a closeness to others that goes beyond words. If you’re ready to explore authenticity in a refreshing, transformative way, we invite you to join us.

Event details

• Coffee, fresh lemonade and savory snacks will be provided with NO extra cost.

• The maximum number of participants is 20 and registration is necessary

• AR enthusiasts will conduct the event; Chad Butler who brings his AR experience from Australia and Fatema Darbar who is the founder of InterLokal Social Hub and trained in Authentic Leadership

Join us to listen to some live music by My Sister Grenadine

About the band

My Sister Grenadine plays minimalist folk with attention to detail. Her music is an encounter with sound and language, near and far, openness and reduction. Free folk, John Cage pop, radical softness.

My Sister Grenadine lives in different places. In places that are actually songs. It moves between silence and diversity, surface and structure, noise and melody. It tells of shy volcanoes and homeless cities, of curiosity and solidarity, of combed teeth and colliding landscapes.

my sister grenadine are…

Vince Kokot: Ukulele, Gitarre, Text, Gesang
Andreas Neumann: Klarinette, Bassklarinette, Keys, Objekte, Gesang

(prior members: Frieda Gawenda, Alpha Kartsaki, Felix Koch, Sebastian Kunas, David Lima, Gisbert Schürig)

my sister grenadine is…

…not a sister. It is an open box where everyone puts letters in. Unwritten ones, strange ones. Full of sharp thoughts and nonsense. The box is not a box, though.

It is a steady sound. Mystical mysterious. Never ending, changing. Constantly standing still and always moving. The sound is more like whispering.

Silent words in our ears. About night and day and everything in between. All again and all different again.

This is what we wish to share. With a sister.
With all of them.

Live music performance from 8:00 pm onwards

Embracing Transformation with the Outer Planets

Not all growth happens on a timeline we can predict. While society teaches us to plan for the future in a structured way, the outer planets—Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto—remind us that true transformation often comes from disruption, vision, and deep personal evolution. How do we navigate these forces while still working toward our goals?

Uranus: Innovation and Breakthroughs
Uranus is the planet of rebellion, sudden change, and innovation. In this session, we’ll explore:

• How unexpected shifts shape your personal and professional path

• The areas of life where you are meant to break the mold

• How to embrace change as a tool for growth
  
  

Neptune: Vision and Intuition

Neptune rules dreams, creativity, and the unseen. Here, we’ll focus on:

• How your intuition and imagination influence your direction

• The balance between inspiration and illusion

• How to align your vision with real-world action

  Pluto: Deep Transformation and Power

  Pluto represents deep transformation, resilience, and personal power. This section will cover:

• The hidden forces driving your biggest personal growth

• How to embrace necessary endings to create new beginnings

• Developing inner strength in times of uncertainty

  
  What You’ll Gain from This Workshop

  By the end of this session, you will:

• Learn to interpret how the outer planets influence your personal and professional evolution

• Use astrological tools to work with major life changes instead of resisting them

• Become part of an accountability group with weekly astrological forecasts

• Engage in peer discussions, group exercises, and dynamic exploration

  Transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it is powerful. If you’re ready to understand how the outer planets guide you toward long-term growth, this workshop is for you.
