This workshop is intended for all those who sometimes feel lonely in their everyday student life
and looking for dialogue. The aim is to talk about these topics of life in specific units:


Introduction - Depression in students
: exchange of content, clarification of organisational topics

Love, loss and grief
: all about the challenges of interpersonal relationships (both in the romantic and family sense)

Helplessness, world-weariness and anger
: strategies for regulating emotions and strengthening resilience

Overload, stress and exam anxiety
: This is about possible causes of burnout in students

Loneliness, need of belonging and addiction
: Dealing with isolation, group dynamics, coping mechanisms

Conclusion - summary and buffer
: addressing unresolved issues, handout, closing round with feedback and summary


The session commences with a mindfulness ritual, followed by the gathering of individual experiences related to the respective topic, leading to the development of a collective understanding. Subsequently, there will be a brief psychological input on the topic, and a collaborative brainstorming session on ideas and resources ensues. These insights can then be integrated into the students' daily lives. It's important to note that this is not a therapeutic program; hence, information about potential support resources is provided. Furthermore, a handout summarizing the workshop's content is distributed during a concluding hour, which focuses more on group interaction and discussion, serving as a catalyst for further reflection. Throughout the workshop, guidelines regarding netiquette and confidentiality agreements are addressed, as some topics discussed may be personal and sensitive.
