Workshops & events

Slow down, ask questions, go deeper

Some topics are easier to understand with time to slow down and go further than an article allows. Plan Save Shine workshops and webinars turn practical and financial subjects into more interactive formats — online or in person.

They are designed around real questions from people living in Germany — and should make a subject easier to understand without turning every session into a sales presentation.

What to expect

More than a presentation

The exact format changes with the subject, but a useful event always states what it covers — and what it does not.

A workshop is not automatically personalised financial, tax, legal, medical or psychological advice.

  • Understand a system that feels difficult to navigate
  • Ask practical questions in a more interactive setting
  • Work through a financial topic without unnecessary jargon
  • Explore how a general rule affects different situations
  • Leave with clearer questions or next steps
  • Meet others dealing with similar aspects of life here

Formats

Online and in-person both have a place

Some subjects work well as an online webinar, where the main need is a clear explanation and structured Q&A. Others benefit from a smaller in-person setting with more room for discussion and exercises.

The format can vary with the subject and audience rather than forcing every event into the same model. Berlin has hosted previous in-person workshops, while other sessions have taken place online.

A workshop can explain how a system works and show common questions — but it should not generalise an individual answer to an entire audience. When personalised support is needed, that boundary is made clear.

Frequently asked

Questions about events

Are all Plan Save Shine events free?

No. Past events have included both free webinars and paid workshops. Future event pages display the price clearly before registration.

Are events only held in Berlin?

No fixed city programme is currently established. Berlin has hosted verified in-person workshops, while other sessions have taken place online. New locations are announced only when an event is actually scheduled.

Are workshops financial-advice appointments?

No. Workshops and webinars are educational formats. A group session cannot replace individual financial advice when the answer depends on a participant's personal circumstances.

Can an event be reserved for Shiners?

Yes, if that is part of the actual event format. The access condition is stated before registration; public events remain accessible without joining unless otherwise specified.

How can I know when a new event is available?

New events appear on this page once dates and registration details are confirmed. The Shine Club can also be used to share new events when that notification flow is operational.

The next session will appear here

When the next workshop or webinar is confirmed, you will find the full details on this page. In the meantime, keep exploring what is already available.
