A Personal Tea Time Between Luzon and Schwerin
How does the perception of home change when one's life gains new coordinates between the Philippines and Germany? At the sixth tea time at the International House Schwerin, Gabriel Celino Ferrer shares his experiences, memories, and perspectives on home and otherness.
Between Philippine Heritage and Schwerin's Daily Life
Gabriel Celino Ferrer grew up in the north of the Philippine main island Luzon. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, he worked for many years in various medical fields. Four years ago, he moved to Schwerin with his wife and is now working as a geriatric nurse.
His biography connects different cultural spaces and opens a personal approach to questions that go far beyond a classic event. The focus is not on an abstract lecture, but on an immediate author encounter with a person sharing his life story and perceptions of two societies.
Literary Storytelling as a Look Beyond the Horizon
The tea time thrives on language, memory, and open conversation. Ferrer reports on his home country, the differences between life realities in the Philippines and Germany, and the connections that remain despite geographical distance.
The conversational format creates an intimate reading atmosphere: Over coffee or tea, there is space for personal impressions, precise questions, and a cultural discourse at eye level. The literary experience lies in the power of the narrated life, in the linguistic artistry of personal narratives, and in the opportunity to reevaluate familiar ideas.
Part of the Event Series weltwechsel
This event takes place as part of the state-wide series weltwechsel, which addresses themes of global justice. In 2026, the series is themed Staying Together and connects numerous civil society events in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The action group Eine Welt e. V. and the World Shop Schwerin invite you to bring your own questions. This makes the encounter a dialogical format that links personal experience, social responsibility, and intercultural learning.
Conclusion: An Encounter that Broadens Horizons
Visitors can expect about an hour of tea time with personal insights, cultural perspectives, and open exchange. Those who want to experience Schwerin from an international viewpoint and engage in an immediate encounter with Gabriel Celino Ferrer will enjoy an afternoon full of closeness, reflection, and human warmth.
