  Workshop recap: How to maintain your wellbeing to be productive and to achieve your goals

  When the semester starts students feel excited and have a lot of expectations. But they also have a huge workload and feel the time pressure. Pursuing academic work while also enjoying social life and looking after health and wellbeing is the key to achieving goals. This is why on the 5th of October we organised a workshop on how to find a good work-study-life balance. OeAD scholars learned coping mechanisms to deal with stress, time pressure and health issues. They tried out practical exercises for relaxation and strength. Moreover scholars had the opportunity to share ideas and experiences with fellow colleagues.
