Hamburg In Your Pocket




A wonderful guide for making Hamburg home produced by the AWCH is now available as a “print-on-demand” book.  Recently updated, this handbook contains useful information with regard to historical and cultural tips, as well as a great deal of advice about what you might need or want to know about getting your papers and permits to stay in Germany, navigating the school system, buying a car, using public transportation, and even paying your taxes. With over 200 addresses and internet links to tried and tested restaurants, sport facilities, children activities, and much more, we are confident that both newcomers and long-term residents of Hamburg will benefit from these pages.

Inspiring event on International Women’s Day. The U.S. Consulate General in Hamburg in cooperation with WIFT, sponsored by AWCH and HAW, invited to a screening of the documentary „CODE: Debuging the Gender Gap“ followed by a discussion with producer and director Robin Hauser. „CODE“ addresses the mindsets and points to the changes needed to debug. Captivating! To learn more see the invitation.

 

The Panel Discussion Event was truly inspiring, our highly accomplished Panelist’s openly shared their experiences, challenges and delivered clear messages on what we need to do. My Linh our amazing Moderator, expertly kept the Panel and the audience engaged. It was both encouraging and motivating.

The audience took away conviction that we need to have courage to continue to fight discrimination against Women, we need to speak up, we have the right and the responsibility. We need to keep moving forward and “Persist”.

The event was a true success and on behalf of the Amerikazentrum and the American Women’s Club Hamburg, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all who participated and attended the event.
