Just wrapped up an amazing Brown Bag Session at the office with the fabulous Samet Akti on "Why is Everyone Queer Now?" As part of our-week long celebration of Berlin Pride week, it was an eye-opening and fun experience that really got us thinking about diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially around queerness and LGBTQI+ issues. Samet, a DEI superstar and Principal D&I Strategist at Zalando, shared some seriously valuable insights. We learned about queer terminology, the challenges queer individuals face in the workplace, and how to navigate the perception of queerness as an overemphasis. Samet also talked about the importance of intersectionality, bringing it to life with some great examples, and gave us tips on promoting LGBTQI+ inclusion on every level—from personal interactions to company culture. It was a fantastic chance for all of us to get a deeper understanding and better support our queer colleagues and friends. Huge thanks to Samet and everyone who joined in. #Wooga #Berlin #LGBTQI #DEI #InspireJoyinBothWorkandPlay

At #Wooga, we love keeping things open and honest. That's why twice a year, we hold an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with our management team. Everyone gets to send in their questions, and through a voting system, the top 10 questions are answered live. No topic is off-limits! Whether it's about our future plans, day-to-day stuff, or our core values, every question is welcome and answered with transparency. These AMAs are more than just Q&A sessions; they’re a fantastic way for us to keep communication flowing across the company. They give us great insights into how everyone’s feeling, letting us tackle concerns, celebrate wins, and keep improving together. By fostering this kind of engagement, we make sure every voice is heard and our management team stays accessible and responsive. This tradition is a key part of our culture, where accountability isn’t just a buzzword but something we live by every day. #Berlin #JunesJourney #InspireJoyinBothWorkandPlay

When we think of leadership, we often think of how and what we can make others do. But our last week’s brownbag with former Wooga Sophie Vo invited us to look at what leadership means through a different lens. With over 16 years of experience in the gaming industry, Sophie has led over 30 global teams, launched 25 games, built 3 game studios, founded 5 ventures, and invested in 11 companies. During her talk, Sophie emphasized that true leadership is about self-control and self-discipline rather than directing others. She incorporated Stoic principles, advocating for viewing challenges as opportunities to exercise true leadership. Key takeaways included the importance of self-leadership, emotional management, and a methodical approach to handling emotions through self-reflection and de-escalation. Sophie’s profound message was clear—effective leadership starts with leading oneself. We are incredibly grateful for her wisdom and the inspiration she gave us all. #Wooga #JunesJourney #InspireJoyinBothWorkandPlay

Last Monday we turned our Kitchen into a bustling hub of style and sustainability. Our Woogas swapped their pre-loved clothes, scored some new-to-them goodies, and had a blast doing it! Events like these not only bring our community closer but also align with our commitment to reducing waste and supporting sustainable practices. We made sure that nothing was left to go to waste: unclaimed items were donated to charity, ensuring that everything finds a new home. Huge shoutout to our amazing colleagues Chrysantha Rice, Melanie Devoy, and Lisa Beuter for organizing this fantastic initiative! #ClothingSwap #Sustainability #JunesJourney #InspireJoyinbothWorkandPlay

Last Thursday, we threw the biggest party in #Wooga history, celebrating our 15th anniversary at the stunning Strandbad Wendenschloss! It was a summer party and anniversary extravaganza rolled into one. This year’s theme? Midsommar. And as usual, Woogas showed up in amazing Midsommar costumes, bringing in the vibrant, whimsical vibes! Because this party was special, plus ones and kids joined in on the fun at the lake. There was the kids’ area where the little ones had a blast playing around. For the more handy Woogas, there were workshops for tote bag decoration, macramé, and wreath making. For the sporty, there were table tennis, volleyball, and much more... This day was more than a celebration; it was looking back on the last 15 years of creativity, teamwork, and games we developed along the way. Here's to many more years of fun, innovation, and epic parties! Thanks to everyone who has been part of our Wooga journey! #Berlin #JunesJourney #InspireJoyinBothWorkandPlay
