And it is especially beautiful when you are entrusted with a task that brings joy, promises fun, moves you to tears, and you have the chance to visit impressive personalities in their professional environment. <\/p>\n\n<p>I, Kirsten Lehmann, have the privilege of meeting former graduates of Schloss Torgelow in the film series &#8220;Kirsten Meets&#8230;&#8221; and visiting them in their current lives.<\/p>\n\n<p>What I experienced during my visits, what I learned about the different career paths of the former students, their goals, and their time at Schloss Torgelow, has been captured on camera by Jens Lange from &#8220;flamencofilm.&#8221; The resulting films are multifaceted, very personal, full of life, a bit &#8220;sentimental,&#8221; and there are one or two challenges for me to master. <\/p>\n\n<p>Definitely check it out, mark it down, and celebrate with me. Have fun!  <br\/><br\/>Kirsten Lehmann<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Episode 9 Christmas Special: Kirsten meets\u2026 Berta Luise Heide, self-employed communication scientist, travel blogger, and designer of the &#8220;BertaBerlin&#8221; pocket guides in Berlin.<\/h2>\n\n<p>In 2002, Berta graduated from high school at Schloss Torgelow and subsequently studied communication sciences in Berlin. After completing her studies, she also worked successfully in the field and wrote travel guides about Berlin on the side. Her maps guide visitors through the respective districts of Berlin, allowing them to discover the hidden &#8220;jewels&#8221; of the capital. By now, Berta is so successful with her pocket guides and her travel blog that she has become self-employed.   <\/p>\n\n<p>I was allowed to visit Berta for a day in Neuk\u00f6lln. She told me about how the idea for BertaBerlin came about while we enjoyed Christmas cookies and tea. In her office, I got to see how she designs the beautiful cards.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Afterward, we took a pre-Christmas stroll through Neuk\u00f6lln. I had the pleasure of receiving a live tour with the &#8220;BertaBerlin Neuk\u00f6lln&#8221; map and was able to see for myself the hidden beauties that the district has to offer its visitors. Berta&#8217;s maps invite you to rediscover Berlin, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the city, and repeatedly linger at exciting spots for inspiration.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The film is about creativity, about courage, about communication, about searching for and finding places, about traveling, about independence, about Neuk\u00f6lln, about strength and self-confidence, about Christmas, and about meetings and getting to know a wonderful woman who is following her own path.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dear Berta, thank you for a day full of warmth, inspiration, and drive. It was a wonderful experience to be guided through &#8220;your&#8221; Neuk\u00f6lln by you. I would love to explore the other districts with you and BertaBerlin. It was a privilege to visit the secret places together with you. And it was a gift to share the anticipation of Christmas with you. You are a fascinating and inspiring personality and a strong woman.     <\/p>\n\n<p><em>Kirsten meets&#8230;. wishes a Merry Christmas and a &#8220;magically beautiful&#8221; 2019.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>My last-minute gift tip: BertaBerlin \u2013 Pocket Guides<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>And where can I get BertaBerlin?
