Participants & Abstracts
Dominik JungermannHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Born and raised in the western part of Germany (Dortmund, Northrhine Westphalia) I studied economics at the FU-Berlin. After working as an Unit Production Manager in the movie business, I moved on to study American Studies at Humboldt University, Berlin. Besides majoring in that subject, I minor in P.E., gearing towards a teacher's career. In the course of my studies, I attended Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savanna, Georgia for one year, taking up graduate courses in English. After graduating this year (hopefully), I will go on pursuing my business (offering full-package skiing trips to the Alps for kids) that I started out a couple years back and see where this will take me. I am also eager to go on participating in the work of an NGO that I co-founded. It's called BSI (Beautiful School Intl.) and it helps poor people in Africa and Asia to gain self-esteem and perspective in their lives through their own work, sometimes with as little as a shovel that's used to create a garden where seeds are sown that will eventually grow and become something beautiful.
