Workshop: Writing workshop "Writing/Learning with children"
Show details
Studying with children presents special challenges for young parents. In particular, term papers and final theses, whose deadlines are initially "far away", often seem difficult to integrate into everyday life with a child. They are therefore often postponed in favour of short-term (household and child-related) tasks. Also finding time for exams preperation while organizing everyday life with a child can be difficult
In our workshop we will show you different possibilities of how you can use your time well and efficiently, not only despite the time restrictions caused by the children, but maybe even because of them.
In addition to some theoretical input, various ways of implementation will be tried out and discussed with the other participants.
In order to be able to apply the contents of the workshop immediately, the writing workshop of the StuFaz is open to you after the theoretical part. During this time you can also take advantage of the possibility of individual counselling by the counsellor of our Psychosocial Counselling Service.
You are welcome to bring your children. However there is no childcare on site - the children will be present during the workshop.
It is possible to either take part in both theory courses or to be present only in the morning or afternoon.
Timetable:
- 9.00-09.15 a.m.: arrival
- 9.30-11.00 a.m.: theoretical input
- 11.00 a.m.-12.30 p.m.: writing time and implementation of the input/individual counselling
- 12.30-13.30 p.m.: Break (Please bring your own food. Baby food can be heated).
- 13.30-15.00 p.m.: theoretical input (repetition)
- 15.00-16.30 p.m.: writing time and implementation of the input/ individual counselling
Even if a start date is not yet clear due to the current situation, you can make a non-binding reservation, as places are limited. Please send an e-mail to: sozialberatung {{ätt}} studentenwerk-leipzig {{punkt}} de. We will inform you about the start as soon as a date can be predicted.
