Shownotes

The start of our new series “Studies & Future” — about paths after school. We kick things off with lawyer Heiko Braun, who found his way from the Rhineland to Johannesburg and today works between two legal systems, two cultures and three languages.

How do you decide to move abroad after your Abitur? What does it mean to practise law in a foreign legal system — and how does that shape your identity? In this episode, Heiko Braun shares why he studied law, how he ended up in South Africa, and what he would tell students standing at the same crossroads today.
