Zac Ryan, better known as Zac XCVIII, and Zack Bachelor are two American content creators living in Stuttgart. They’ve gained a massive following across social media platforms with their humorous skits about intercultural differences between Germans and Americans, such as interactions between Zac and his „German friend“ Hans, language confusion due to literal translations, or first-time experiences of everyday situations such as visits to a restaurant or the supermarket.
In this interactive workshop, Zac and Zack will share their experiences as Americans living in Germany and how they found their way into content creation. They will give an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their creative process. Students will have the chance to ask questions and develop their own ideas for funny social media posts on stereotypes. Learn, laugh, and create as we challenge misconceptions and celebrate the connections between German and American
cultures!
