Statement

Statement as of 7 July 2020

It has come to our attention that someone seems to have protected the term ‘webinar’. Whereas we find this hard to understand as we have been using this term since 2009, we do of course respect the law.
Consequently, to avoid any kind of legal issues, we have stopped using this term immediately since it was brought to our attention. we have removed the term from our website and our material.

We are aware that older social media posts and material may contain this term. There is nothing we can do about this. All we can do is to change what we can now and looking forward to the future. To any lawyers trying to make money out of this, we kindly request that you stop this or find somebody else. At no time have we knowingly done anything wrong.

The calendar to nourish your wanderlust (by Hannah Lambeck)

Now this is lovely: Innovation in the intercultural field is to be applauded. There are a lot of great people out there who have great ideas , they don’t alway come to fruition. Recently, the wonderful, dynamic young rising star of the intercultural world, Hannah Lambeck, told me about this idea that she has put into practice for people planning to go to a Latin American country.

Imagine you are going to a foreign country for a while, you are not sure what awaits you, you are often a mixture of anticipation, excitement and a little nervous. Hannah has created a calendar, the Fernwehcalendar – which reframes that; a calendar for the 31 days before you go abroad, with exciting information each day about the country you are going to. This is a charming way to find out about your destination country and to increase your sense of excitement and anticipation to help you look forward to your stay abroad.

This is a real thing, not just an online calendar. Great, I think, as a gift, for example, for intercultural trainers to give to their clients, the icing on the cake for their preparatory training or coaching.

The focus is currently on Latin America and the calendars are in German, which is a great place to start, and as demand grows the sky really is the limit in terms of countries and languages.

Anyway, a fabulous innovation, well done Hannah, thank you for taking the initiative on this. To find out more, pop along to www.fernwehkalender.de
