Build strong connections and a healthy learning environment

E.1 Conversations is a concept designed to create space for open and honest dialogue among students – with a particular focus on the first year of study.
Through facilitated discussions with fellow students, participants have the opportunity to reflect on and share their personal experiences, challenges, and learning related to their studies.

Purpose

The purpose of E.1 Conversations is to foster a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s fellow students within a learning context.
The facilitated conversations give participants the opportunity to explore topics such as:

Courage and vulnerability

How can we, as students, openly share our challenges and emotional barriers – and how do we create a space where we dare to be vulnerable without fear of judgment?

Imposter syndrome

Many students experience the feeling of being a “fraud,” as if they don’t deserve their success. In these conversations, participants can share and discuss their own experiences with imposter syndrome and find support within the community.

Communities and social relationships

What does it mean to be part of a community? How can we, as students, build strong and supportive relationships that foster both academic and personal growth?

A positive study and learning environment

How can we, together, create a study environment built on psychological safety – one where everyone feels comfortable expressing thoughts, asking questions, and sharing experiences?

Study techniques

Which techniques and methods can help us optimise our learning and study habits? How can we share tips and strategies with one another to achieve greater success?

It was really valuable to hear other people’s perspectives. I realised I’m not alone in some of the challenges I’m facing.

Goal

The goal of E.1 Conversations is not only to promote academic success, but also to ensure that students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their peers. Through these conversations, we work towards the following goals:

  • Hope for the future: How can we build a positive outlook on the future, even when facing challenges in our studies and in life in general?

  • Self-compassion: How can we learn to be kinder and more compassionate towards ourselves, especially when dealing with setbacks, mistakes, or self-criticism?

Activities

The conversations are organised as dialogue sessions where students meet in small groups.
The timing and format are arranged in collaboration with the respective educational institution to ensure that the sessions fit smoothly into the existing study schedule.

Overall, the discussions were really good. Especially the last game with the agreement scale gave me the chance to connect with people on a more personal level.

Next step

E.1 Conversations is continuously evolving, and we are working on expanding the concept to include a focus on self-compassion in both study and work life.
This new version will encourage deeper reflection on how we can be kinder and more understanding toward ourselves as we navigate the challenges of studying and working.
