• The Berlin Club would like to highlight one of their most impactful ongoing programs WOMEN & FINANCE, now in its fifth year, coordinated by AWC Berlin member Suzy Nguyen and her dedicated team. Held twice a month on Zoom in the evening, this initiative isn’t for women working in finance - its mission is to empower all women to take charge of their personal finances. This year's program will cover Artificial Intelligence: from learning the basics to applying it to finances.

Women & Finance: Season 5 — Artificial Intelligence

AI isn’t just for techies & young people — It’s becoming a tool we can all use to make life easier. Think of it as a personal assistant at your fingertips. This season, we’ll learn how to use AI step by step — together.

Here’s How Season 5 Will Work:

1. Learn the Basics.
We’ll start with beginner-friendly courses on *prompting* (how to talk to AI so you get the best answers). Members may take these individually or we may arrange one as a group.

2. Share Prompts.
At each session, everyone brings 2–3 prompts they’ve tried. We’ll share, compare, and build a community list of useful prompts and ideas.

3. Explore the Right Tools.
Together we’ll discover which AI programs are best for which needs — from planning travel, organizing projects, designing websites, and job hunting, to creative ideas, photo editing, and more.

4. Apply It to Finance.
Later in the season, around spring, we’ll focus on money: How AI can support budgeting, investing, estate planning, career planning, and protecting our identity online.

How We’ll Do It:

To start, members can either:

- Take a recommended beginner-friendly AI course on their own (we’ll provide a list of options or share one with us).

- Or join a course we’re developing with our member *Cecilia Pineda*, who has already completed extensive AI training and will guide us through the basics together.

Either way, we take the course, meet to share, and remember to bring a few prompts to share. We’ll build a “prompt cheat sheet” — a customized resource of ideas, examples, and tested tools that grows with us over the season.

Join us to learn more about the nexus of health and the environment, with guest speaker Sabine Peters, Zonta International UN Representative. Sabine participated in the NGO CSW Geneva +30 Beijing Project Health team with FAWCO convenor Veronica Ventura.

Venue: Interkulturelles Zentrum (IZ), Bergheimer Str. 147 (Bldg C - Room 412), 69115 Heidelberg 

How to get there: The IZ is conveniently located near the Betriebshof bus and tram station. As parking is not permitted on the compound, please use public transport if possible.

From the bus stop “Betriebshof” (bus lines 32, 34, 35, 37 and streetcar lines 21, 24, 26), cross Bergheimer Straße on the south side of the “Betriebshof” stop and go through the black iron gate into the Landfried complex. 

After the glass building of the International Welcome Center Heidelberg, you will find a red sandstone staircase in the next building (Building C), which you can use to enter the building. The room 412 (4th floor) is accessable with the elevator or the staircase. 

Coming with the car:

The entrance to the Landfried complex is via Alte Eppelheimer Straße, between the intersection of Mittermaierstraße and Karl-Metz-Straße. 
Please note that parking in the Landfried complex is not permitted for longer than 30 minutes. A camera records the license plate number at the entrance. The IZ does NOT have its own parking spaces.

There is a parking garage nearby "Parkhaus Kurfürsten-Passage" Kurfürsten-Anlage 62, 69115 Heidelberg (Parkhaus P18 BG RCI on google). Please note: this Parkhaus closes at 9 pm!

Dinner Club is a chance for people to get together and unwind from the day.  Join us for good food, good drinks and good conversation!  It's also the perfect excuse to get out and try different places in and around Heidelberg.  Dinner Club meets once a month and we are always looking for restaurant recommendations or to try out the latest places! 

This month we will be in Heidelberg visiting the famous Flammkuchenhof, where they have all-you-can-eat Flammkuchen! 

Please sign up to secure your spot and make sure to cancel in advance if you are unable to attend. We could incur costs if we show up with too few people and usually have a waiting list of people who would also like to attend.

Since this restaurant is situated a bit outside of the neighbourhood area, we will organise some carpool options from the tram stop and station nearby.
