As all of our international and local students are in the midsts of their exam periods, we aimed to create a platform and an event where everone can let a little bit of steam off and recharge for the upcoming exams and projects. For that we choose a convenient location, which is right next to our university. Our goal is to get our students out their study bubble a bit, reminnd them to breathe, socialize a bit, take care of their mental health and recarge, gain a bit of energy before they get right back to their books, and behind their desks.
As all of us can get quite overwhelmed by all the tasks and exams we have to take during our exam periods, we can neglect the fact that are mental health also needs to be taken care of. Therefore we always encourage our international, and local students to get together during these weeks at least once, to recharge a bit, to socialize, share best practices, let some stress and steam out by jamming to their favourite karaoke hits. We have a great partner spot right by our Faculty of Humanities building, which serves as a regular meeting point for our members at ESN ELTE, and we invite our mobility program participants there on a daily basis as well. As we warm up a bit with a few drinks, enjoy the outdoors, and engage in different coneversations and share best practices on how to overcome our difficulties, we would just go with the flow and start doing Karaoke, whenever everyone feels ready to do so.
