Workshop || Under Pressure with AEGEE
28 Nov 2023 18:00 - 21:30
Programme

Do you feel that stress is taking over your life? Acquire tools to prevent a burn-out with our interactive workshop.

 

This workshop (open to all students) offered by TINT together with AEGEE, is focused on stress management and burn-out prevention. In an interactive manner, TINT life coach Margit van Tuijl helps you to identify your current sources of stress and to deconstruct them into manageable pieces that are easier to deal with. 

 

After having a nice dinner, you gain an overview of the tasks that are on your plate and you find ways to make more room for things that inspire you during the workshop. There’s a lot of room to share experiences, exchange ideas, and inspire each other. 

 

Take some pressure off your mind and learn practical tools to look inside yourself and reflect on what really matters to you!

 

All students are welcome!
