To enter the group simply click on the corresponding column.
We’re all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let’s treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
Give more than you take to this group. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren’t allowed.
Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group.
Please use the pinned posts for all matters related to events, housing, jobs, services etc.
Any promotions should be directly linked to the purpose of this group, thus help expats in this city (in line with the group rules).
Advertisements for general products or services would be deleted, as they can be found elsewhere, unless they are answers to a question like “Does somebody know a good hairdresser who can speak English?”
Allowed:
– German language courses (local)
– Helpful information about sites, flat search, institutions etc. in this city
– Events for the purpose of meeting up there or that are beyond usual offerings in any city, thus a normal fitness class should not be advertised here, but a fitness class held outside company premises in one of the local parks is okay as it is linked to the community spirit
– Special events such as city festivals or group viewings of a sporting event (e.g. World Championships)
– Free/Community/Private offerings (Meetups, tours, which is a private event without any commercial interest / financial gain.
– Local groups (or “Vereine”)
In any case, a personal interest or involvement should be declared, not only to make it clear as advertising, but also to indicate to what extent the poster can answer questions or arrange for reservations and the like.
