Fehler (Mistakes)

Simply put, a “Fehler” is a mistake, but it’s also the response to one of life’s big questions: how do we innovate and make progress? Our answer: often by mistake. This podcast takes a deep dive into some of the best errors, faults, and flaws out there. Mistakes – misunderstandings in translations, faulty processors, or dead flies – can unexpectedly lead to something new. In celebration of this innovative power, we’re dedicating an entire website to the “Fehler.” Peruse our zine to immerse yourself in big and little mistakes, collected by colleagues and friends from Germany, India, Canada, and the US.​ For more, visit: www.goethe.de/mistakes
