Nina Haase

February 8, 2012

The director’s countdown is in French, the editor’s comments are in German, the colleague’s remark is in Spanish – producing European Journal is in itself a typical European endeavour: challenging and a lot of fun!

Born and raised in a small town between the picturesque Münsterland and the industrial Ruhr regions in Western Germany, Nina developed a curiosity for different environments, places, and people at an early age.

Nina studied Applied Languages Europe in Germany, England and France and went on to do an MBA in International Management and Intercultural Communications. Her thesis was about the importance of radio for the growing European identity. One of her examples? Deutsche Welle.

In 2005, she joined DW and became a host and producer of various radio programmes, such as "Living Planet”. She did research for Deutsche Welle in Beijing before the Olympics, with the Aborigines in Australia, and with women empowerment groups in rural India. When television called, Nina moved to Berlin where she worked in DW’s “Journal” team, both as a presenter and a reporter.

Nina feels she has come full circle now that she is in Brussels, where she has Europe quite literally at her doorstep. (And also an abundance of some very tasty beer and chocolate!)

Nina enjoys singing and making music, concerts, dancing, travelling, and of course chatting with friends in this inevitable blur of languages that comes with working in an intercultural environment!
