Do you want to speak your language during lunch? Or practice a new one? Then join one of our language lunch tables! Meet in front of the S101 canteen at the Bayer Pharma HQs in Berlin. Upcoming dates: Italian: Every Thursday @ 12:30 pm CET Polish: December 13th 2023 @ 13:00 pm CET More: http://go/b22cactivities Today: Italian! Italian, a Romance language, stems from Latin, the language of ancient Rome. Its development was influenced by various dialects and languages of Italy, like Lombard and Sicilian. Standard Italian, based on the Tuscan dialect, rose to prominence due to the region's cultural and literary influence, particularly through works of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. With approximately 67 million native speakers, primarily in Italy and parts of Switzerland, Italian holds a significant cultural legacy in music, arts, and cuisine. It's one of the European Union's official languages and a key language in the Roman Catholic Church.

Today is World Hemophilia Day! Thank you for celebrating with us by minting the „Say Yes to WHD 2023“ POAP.​ With this POAP you receive an exclusive preview to our new Jivi campaign. ​ Patient's lives are not fixed; their treatment shouldn't be either. Fixed regimens ask PwH to fit their life around their therapy, without stopping to consider what each life may look like or how different they could be PwH deserve a therapy that allows them to take control of their protection and live the life they want to live, throughout the week. With Jivi, they can unlock the freedom to say ‘yes’ more and live the life that they want to, across the week. So in short: Jivi, ready when they are.​ The theme of the event this year is “Access for All: Prevention of bleeds as the global standard of care”. Building on last year’s theme, the call to action for the community in 2023 is to come together and advocate with local policy makers and governments for improved access to treatment and care with an emphasis on better control and prevention of bleeds for all people with bleeding disorders (PWBDs). This means the implementation of home-based treatment as well as prophylactic treatment to help those individuals have a better quality of life. ​ Learn more here: https://wfh.org/world-hemophilia-day/
