Maybe I’ll just ask directly: why did you do that?
Veronika: Since the beginning of my studies I have heard from time to time about veterinary student calendars from Australia and New Zealand, and I’ve also seen individual pictures. I thought the idea was cool, but I also thought this kind of project would never be feasible in Germany. Sexism is still a big issue here and a nude calendar would be eaten up by the critics. Then the final year made the first move, before we could, and brought out the first Munich vet calendar for 2020. This gave us the confirmation that something like this can also work in Germany – completely naturally and without the debate about sexism. Everything’s done on a voluntary basis, and there is also a girl and a boy version where each picture is coordinated with the students and left as naturally as possible. You can see how much fun we had making this, and that’s the most important thing for us!
