In Berlin, for many WUDC organizers, there won’t be an ordinary Christmas celebration this year. Instead of spending Christmas with their families, the core of the WUDC Org Com is already on place in Berlin in order to work on the last preparations. But before the first participants of the WUDC scholarship program will arrive tomorrow, the WUDC Org Com will have its own very private Christmas celebration.

Rumors tell us that the celebration will take place at John Eltringham’s home. John was responsible for the WUDC scholarship program in the last year. Among others, Marietta Gädeke, chief of staff, will be present celebrating an intercultural Christmas celebration. Marietta also promised to make a photo of the Org Com under the (most probably not existing) Christmas tree. For, dinner, Marietta told us, they will have Lentil Stew (which, by the way, is not the most traditional German Christmas dinner) and a variety of salads and desserts.

To them and everybody out there, especially to all the scholarship participants travelling to Berlin tonight, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
