This year the TEDDY Diversity Talks were supported by the L`Oréal Paris Lounge @ Berlin International Film Festival. Due to the interest of so much guests we changed the location and moved from the L´Oréal Paris Lounge at Bleibtreustrasse to the new location – the BRL0 Brwhouse at Gleisdreieck near Potsdamer Platz.
