Beat the Blues! brings international students together and supports wellbeing

Join us to talk about your experiences on job search and working in Finland. What good practices would you like to share with your fellow students, and on the other hand, what challenges have you faced as a jobseeker in Finland. This spring's first Beat the Blues event offers a space and time for discussing and reflecting on job seeking themes with Aalto Career Design Lab specialist Niina Malkamäki as well as other international students.

Niina will start with an introduction to the topic of job search in Finland as an international. The event continues with casual workshopping in small groups, covering topics such as job-seeking culture, language issues, networking and integration into Finnish society. Some former students (alumni) might be joining the workshops as facilitators and sharing their experiences from the time after graduation. Depending on the number of interested participants, there might also be an opportunity to play an educational game on navigating your way into Finnish job market.

Small snacks will be available! Please register in advance using the registration link above. Registration gives us valuable information for practical arrangements.

Self-compassion can be described as an internal force, a skill that can help us navigate through the ups and downs in life. Its tender side allows us to treat ourselves with kindness and care when we most need it. Its fierce side can help us take action, to protect ourselves and reach our goals. It can also help us connect to others and therefore reduce loneliness.

Come, hear and discuss more in the Beat Blues-event "I’m enough – the power of self-compassion”. Talking about the topic is Saara Ahtola, a crisis worker and self-compassion guide from the HelsinkiMissio Crisis Services for Youth.
