You are invited to Sprachsalon’s first Culture Slam on March 1, 2013, at 17.30!! The topic of the gathering is your culture and how you fit in (or do not fit in). We all have identities that make us unique but can also limit us (based on the colour of our skin, our gender, sexuality, ethnicity, language, age, ability, class, religion, ...). We all have struggles that these identities create for us. And we all have our unique Paths in life towards happiness, balance, and success. The Culture Slam is an evening for us to learn more about each other’s unique cultural experiences and perhaps to share our own. We will have the following presenters and more: Line-Up: 1. Tomer Mazie (Israel) will talk about how the Palestinian Israeli conflict affects everyday lives of people. In English with German translation. 2. Rachel Sever (USA) will perform spoken word poetry in English with German summary. 3. Arne Bardelle (Germany) is going to do a rap in German. 4. Christopher (Malawi) will tell a story in Chichewa with German translation. 5. Jordan Kynes (USA) will recite a poem by Robert Service in English. ---------------------------------------------------- Culture Slam is an evening organized as a collaboration between Sprachsalon Berlin and Weitblick e.V.: Sprachsalon Berlin is a language school where you can learn German, brush up on your English, and explore languages like Hindi, Hebrew, Russian, and Turkish in small groups with lots of teacher attention.
