Feedback and me - 3H

Let’s do a round of feedback! A sentence we use quite a lot. But what happens after, how do we analyse and process the feedback we receive?

In this workshop, we want to find out how to deal with feedback, whether good, bad, unjust, unsatisfactory, or just plain wrong. We will look at different types and levels of feedback and how they can trigger us into defensiveness. We will talk about different strategies for processing feedback and how to better ask for feedback, that fits your needs.

The World is on Fire? – 11 Rules for the Times of Chaos - 3H

So, the world is not in the greatest shape, is it? How often do you feel like this is the end and there is absolutely no way it can survive? And if the world cannot survive, how can we? This workshop will certainly give you space to discuss these feelings of hopelessness, and… AND hopefully, find a way out of it by reflecting on 11 simple rules for times of chaos based on the philosophical and practical writings of a Polish philosopher. Maybe, just maybe… or maybe for reals, we are still able to fight the fight we choose and survive it?

Project Heroes 101 - How to write projects and get fundings? - 3H

The VSS is the perfect place for new ideas to flourish, however, how can we put them into practice?

Let’s talk about the journey from 0 to Hero of project writing and how our ideas to improve our world can become a reality.

Writing a project can look scary, but with a few questions answered and the willingness to make a positive change, together we will see the necessary steps to put our ideas into a paper and how to reach those that can fund them.

There is a problem! - 3H

This is easily said, but where exactly the problem lies is harder to pinpoint. In intercultural contexts, the task of addressing issues becomes increasingly challenging. As a support system, we aim to assist students and families in communicating and identifying problems effectively with one another.

This workshop will give insight into how to navigate conflict situations in an intercultural context. We will look at different conversation strategies and how they can be implemented in student support communication.

This workshop is best suited for participants who are new to student support.
