Talk it out!
Talk sessions for international students by students
We aim to create peer support groups by students, for students. In these sessions, we discuss diverse themes and topics that you can relate to. These are based on the requests you send in and would prove most useful to the students. We want to create a safe place where students can share their thoughts and worries, listen to each other, exchange tips, and find comfort with one another.
Registrations are now closed. There will be new sessions available in september 2023.
Topics
Connection & interaction
Are you a new student in a foreign city finding it challenging to make meaningful connections? Join us for an enlightening session on the power of connection and interaction.
It's okay not to be okay
It's completely normal to not feel okay sometimes. It's okay to feel overwhelmed or uncertain. Recognizing and accepting these feelings is the first step toward healing. Remember, it's okay not to be okay. You're not alone."
Stress
We've all been stressed to take an exam before, it's almost an unavoidable part of being a student. No matter how good they've prepared, no matter how long they've studied, some students find this particularly hard to deal with. We want to hear your thoughts, how do you handle exam stress.
Suggestions?
Do you have suggestions for future sessions? Be sure to let us know which topics interest you - then we can consider them for future talk sessions.
Registration
You are certainly welcome to sign up for more than one session.

Introduction
Kosta
Hello everyone. I am studying Clinical Psychology at Ghent University. During the years I was always fascinated by psychology and the magnetism of this science. I have a keen interest in learning more and devoting my time to a better, greater understanding of human behavior, its functions, motivational factors, and ways of expression.
It is fascinating to interact with individuals from different cultures, from all over the world, to learn about the variety of personal values and behavioral expressions.
I am excited to take part in the Talk Session initiative of UGent and hear and share stories with all of you!
