In our inaugural episode, we are thrilled to have Mitar Pitzek, the visionary founder of INNES Institute Vienna, as our guest. Today, Mitar shares his fascinating journey, starting with his first day in Vienna. Originally from the suburbs of Belgrade, Mitar's path took an unexpected turn when he moved to Berlin for his studies. However, the onset of war in the late '90s compelled him to seek refuge in Austria. From navigating the challenges of post-Yugoslavia to founding a leading German language institute, Mitar's story is one of resilience, passion, and educational innovation. Tune in to discover more about Mitar's remarkable experiences and his profound love for the German language.
