“PandEscape” – A social adventure trip as an online block course, 19th/20th May

Illustration by rawpixel.com

Dear international student,

Do you know this: for weeks now you have been struggeling each day to motivate yourself in this strange empty situation of studying virtually without much contact to real persons around you. From time to time you get the impression to lose your self-confidence. While only occuring rarely a couple of months ago, you are now more and more often experiencing doubts if you can finish your studies soon successfully.

You are not alone!

It might seem hard to always motivate yourself. And it is! We are at your side and would like to invite you for a social adventure trip with fellow international students to find your original strength and spark once again.

Even though we have to use the virtual tools also for this special training, we believe it will become an empowering experience for you because we have a lot of practice to create a positive atmosphere of trust and belonging.
It is free from any pressure to perform and is unrelated to your studies content-wise. But you will get know a lot of very useful tools for self reflection and decision making which you probably will find useful for your future professional career. 

We call this 2-days block course “PandEscape” and it will take place from

May 19th, 13:00 – 20:00 and May 20th, 16:15 – 20:00 on zoom.

The event will be held in English.

After registration you will receive the ZOOM meeting link via e-mail.

Participating during the full time will help you the best and will be most beneficial. But in case you have an important lecture and would have to miss only a small part of the programme, it would in principle still be possible to participate.

We are very happy that we can offer this block course without any fee.

Registration

What do we need from you and what do you need for making it a good experience for yourself:

  • Please register until Sunday, May 16th by using the online registration form
  • Because it will be a very interactive event please organise stabil internet connection, headset and camera.

Which materials should you prepare for yourself:

  • A pile of Post-its or Din A6 paper (of course you can take DinA4 and cut it)
  • Highlighter (for text marking)
  • A post card with any motive you like or some paper and an envelope.
  • Your prefered pencil ?

We look forward to welcoming you to this social adventure trip.

Kind regards

Dr. Kristina Wopat, Director & Trainer
