About the Event
💡 Have you ever thought about freelancing but weren’t sure where to start?
Do you wonder how freelancing really differs from traditional employment?
Would you like to learn more about the legal, organizational, and personal aspects – and hear first-hand experiences from freelancers about what everyday life is really like?
If so, this workshop is tailored for you.
Together with openDEVS, we’ll give you a practical introduction to the world of freelancing:
Understand the key differences between freelancing and employment.
Explore practical aspects like onboarding, CVs, and work methods.
Get an overview of legal and financial basics.
Work in small groups to reflect on your motivation.
Wrap up with a candid “reality check” through freelancer experience-sharing and an open Q&A.
✨ Each participant will also receive our digital guide:
“Becoming a Freelancer. Your realistic 100-day plan” – a hands-on roadmap with concrete steps to get started.
This workshop is for anyone considering the move into freelancing or simply curious about it.
