Online Conference: Living and Working in Munich and Berlin

As part of our monthly "KEDGE Alumni Around the World" conference series, two graduates living in Munich, and two graduates living in Berlin, share their experiences of living there..

Introduction 👋

Because of the current global health crisis, the 57 international branches of KEDGE Alumni have had to adapt. So this year they are holding a series of conferences that put the spotlight on a city, a country, or a region of the world. This time we look at the cities of Munich and Berlin from the perspective of those who know it best: our expatriate graduates who receive support from KEDGE Alumni throughout the year, despite living far away, thanks to our range of online services.
