With sunny skies and temperatures up to 35 degree this week, it's clear why Berlin is the ideal destination for Summer fun. You can swim in the lakes, hike and bike the trails, head to the farmers markets and enjoy outdoor concerts. But while you're at it, it's also a great chance to catch up on your classes, knock out some requirements and get ahead in school or your career! We are here to inspire you for the upcoming exciting workshops that are going to take place at the Berlin Summer University of the Arts the following months.
