Thu 16.3.23 at 16-18: Imposter syndrome among international students in Aalto (Otakaari 1, room Y115) (Register in here)
|
The theme of the second Beat the Blues session of 2023 is imposter syndrome. This syndrome is quite common, and it causes people to doubt their talent and skills up to a point where they might feel like a fraud and are afraid of others figuring out their presumed lack of competence. We will start the Beat the Blues session with a short introduction to the topic, and then continue with a relaxed and informal workshop. The event is organised on 16 March at 16–18 on Otaniemi campus (Otakaari 1, room Y115), and it’s open to all international students at Aalto. Coffee, tea, and some snacks provided! |

New and old Beat the Blues-participants are all welcome, so no matter if you have been to these events before, or not, we would love to see you with us! Coffee&tea and some snacks provided! |
