It’s no secret that juggling childcare and work can be challenging. To address this issue, Silvia Steude and Katja Thiede opened a special kind of coworking space, JuggleHub, in Prenzlauer Berg in 2016, to give parents the opportunity to bring children to work with them. While little ones are supervised by experienced childcare professionals in groups of two to four, their parents can concentrate on work just a few doors down. One of the carefully-furnished rooms is used for games; another for sleeping or breastfeeding. The atmosphere in the bright working spaces is one of focus and productivity, which has led some non-parents to set up their mobile offices here. Three event rooms, located at the other end of the building with modular furniture options, can be rented via the website or Spacebase. JuggleHub members receive a discount, though non-members can also hire them. Meetings across a wide variety of professions, from design to law, take place here on a regular basis, as do “Eat & Greet” networking breakfasts, during which the spotlight is turned to topics like starting a business or investing.

Ever feel overwhelmed or disenchanted with the offerings of Netflix? Allow us to point you in the direction of Behind The Tree — a streamlined, independent film streaming provider founded by film buffs and co-curated by industry insiders such as Jessica Schwarz and Frederick Lau. The newly-redesigned website is a pleasure to navigate — the “Playground” hosts the full selection of options, which can be filtered by categories including “The Hard Stuff”, “Kitsch” and “Real Life.” Scrolling through, I settled on an excerpt that caught my eye — for “Love Steaks” — and rented the film for 48 hours. Behind The Tree is more art house than blockbuster, more festival than cineplex. But even lovers of the occasional trashy flick are well catered for — refer to the “Cheap” section, which includes “Sharknado 3 & 4”. And for those who want to delve deeper into the world of independent film, the project also encompasses an in-house podcast, “Behind The Tresen.” (Text: Jennifer Prietzel / Photos: Behind The Tree)
