Understanding & regulating emotions

18:15 – 19:45, CAP3 – Hörsaal 1 | Speaker: Suzana Milea, EmBIPoC

Emotions are with us every day - but what exactly are they and how can we deal with them better? This event will provide a brief psychoeducational insight into the world of emotions, supplemented by reflection exercises for self-work. Practical methods for emotion regulation will then be presented that can be integrated directly into everyday life. 

Mindfulness profile

09:00 – 15:00, Audimax Foyer 

Our everyday lives are constantly characterised by new tasks and distractions. We do many things on the side while rushing to the next task in a hectic rush. Mindfulness is a valuable and effective resource for putting a significant damper on (everyday) stress.

At the stand, you have the opportunity to determine your personal mindfulness score. With the help of various statements, you assess the intensity that is right for you, from which an individual score is calculated. The result is displayed both numerically and visually. Based on your values and preferences, you will receive personalised recommendations for action - directly on site and in a personal consultation.

The stand is open during the entire event. You can drop by flexibly and without registration. This event is organised in cooperation with Techniker Krankenkasse.

Are you still drinking or are you already studying? - On the responsible use of alcohol and other substances during your studies

18:15 – 19:45, CAP2 - Hörsaal A | Speaker: Marina Soltau from stadt.mission.mensch Kiel

The next exam is just around the corner, but the deadline for the term paper is next week! There's a conflict smouldering in the shared flat that actually needs to be resolved - but is the application for BAföG actually through now? The demands of studying are high, and what could be more obvious than treating yourself to a little time out from time to time, with a glass of red wine or a relaxing joint? The lecture aims to sensitise students to the responsible consumption of psychotropic substances and how to use them responsibly.

Self-care is no luxury

14:15 – 15:15 (online) | Speaker: Ramona López from Studentenwerk SH

In this interactive event, we will look at how your everyday life as a student can be organised with as little stress as possible. We will focus on the dangers of toxic cycles of excessive demands, the pillars of mental health and the dynamics of stress. However, special attention will be paid to the individual possibilities of self-care. Make sure you have something to write about, because you will take a closer look at what gets you personally worked up and what brings you back down.
