Jasmin Wölke hosts events in Bielefeld in English and German, switching between both where needed. Her language direction makes sure both groups can follow while the programme does not grow to twice its length.
English Is Part of Everyday Business in This Region
Anyone building machine tools, implementing SAP systems or doing research in Ostwestfalen-Lippe works internationally. Companies like DMG MORI or NTT DATA Business Solutions stand for a region whose specialists come from all over the world, and Bielefeld University brings researchers from many countries to the Teutoburg Forest. At company events the developer who only speaks English then sits next to the fitter who has been in the plant for thirty years. A host who stubbornly says everything twice loses both of them. One who speaks only English loses half the room. The answer is direction: knowing which programme item runs in which language and who needs a summary when.
Language Direction Starts in the Briefing
Before the event Jasmin asks who is in the room: how many understand only German, how many only English, what language are the slides in? From this she builds a language plan. Welcome and framing bilingual, expert talks in their original language with a short bridge for the other group, discussions handled flexibly depending on who answers. She never translates punchlines word for word but rebuilds them in the other language, so both groups react at the same moments. International guests sense from the first minute that they were planned for, and the German-speaking workforce never feels forced into a foreign language.
Proven in Front of International Audiences
At the Global Sales Summit, a corporate reference with more than 500 participants from 40 countries, Jasmin carried a programme in which English was the stage language and still nobody got lost. She brings that experience to Bielefeld, from customer days to expert conferences. How the switching works in practice is explained in how bilingual moderation works. The format overview sits on the hub English-speaking moderator, and all pages for the city are gathered on the Bielefeld city page.
