Four people talk about failure and growth
We all make decisions, take risks and make mistakes along the way. Making mistakes, letting go and starting over are all part of our lives and often tell us more about life than sunny success stories.
FuckUp Night is a globally renowned format in which people talk about their biggest mistakes and low blows. The idea behind it: The stories of such failures are often more helpful than smooth success stories. And they also encourage others because they show that failure and growth belong together.
At FuckUp Night Halle, courageous entrepreneurs, creatives and scientists speak openly about entrepreneurial crises and failed projects and report on what they have learned from this experience.
We celebrate trial and error, reflection and growth. An open culture of error encourages us to try new things and move forward with strength. With this in mind, let us see wrong decisions and supposed setbacks not as the end but as the beginning of a new attempt.
On stage this time:
– Stefan Simon: “A bouquet of flowers for €62,000”
– Wera Stein: “The art of quitting”
– Ingo Herrmann: “On searching and letting go”
– Carla Lou West: “From drawing on”
Admission is free!
