Cooking and Skyping with Rotaract Antalya Aspendos

What’s an easy and fun way to connect with people? Through food! So on Monday evening, we decided to “spice up” our skype call with Antalya Aspendos Rotaract by cooking a turkish dish of their choice. We talked about our projects, got to know a bit about each others members and got tips on how to cook the Kısır. This time we got to enjoy the delicious food, but next time we get to help Antalya Aspendos Rotaract make a german dish for dinner!

The Future of Insurance: InsurTech

Tonight we had the pleasure of welcoming Tim Besser from the Rotary Club Berlin International, our sponsoring club, for a talk about insurance technology. This is a steadily growing sector in the German market and is bound to revolutionize how we view insurance in the very near future!

Are You Bored Yet?

This afternoon our club had the opportunity to participate in a coaching workshop on holding presentations. We learned how to organize our presentations so that we can speak to our audiences in a sustainable way.  We also participated in a self-evaluation and learned where our strengths are and in what areas we can improve. Thank you very much to Andreas Bornhäußer for his time and expertise! Thank you also to Rotaracters from Berlin-Hauptstadtclub, who joined for the workshop as well.

Setting Ourselves up for Success: Brainstorming Activities

Tonight we had an interactive meeting where we brainstormed activities for the upcoming months. In a design thinking based, “Round Robin” format, we came up with dozens of ideas for presentations, community service projects and fun activities to do in the upcoming months. Feel free to join us and help shape and participate in our events!

We were also happy to welcome a visitor from the international Rotaract club in Heidelberg, Markus!
