Student Engagement without Burning Out

Interested to learn how to avoid the mental exhaustion or burnout often linked to sustainability engagement? Join us for a workshop with Seraina from the Student Minds Network, dedicated to advocating for student mental health in Switzerland. Discover practical tools, methods, and engage in discussions with other students.

Event description

Students who are involved in a student organisation alongside their studies and employment or who are more generally engaged in sustainability are often exposed to multiple burdens that can have a negative impact on their well-being. The high pressure on individual shoulders in turn influences the mood in the team and can lead to friction among the committed students. The following workshop is a summary from a longer section on site and focuses on preventing dedicated students from burning out. However, there is no need to have taken part in the last section to take part in this one.

Following topics will be discussed:

• Difficulties and problems that appear in committees and teams in student and voluntary engagement.
• How should a healthy and sustainable committee culture look like?
• Tools and solutions that lead to this goal
