On the occasion of the visit of Dr Alawia Ibrahim Farag to our university, I would like to invite you to an interactive session on Career counselling and student wellbeing here and there. Dr Alawia is Director of Students’ Affairs at Ahfad University for Women in Omdurman, Sudan. The picture above is taken at the summer school on Finding Your Way in the Education-Work Transition: Mental Resilience and Social Entrepreneurship that took place in Gulu, northern Uganda in July 2024. The participants played the game on student well-being developed by Lisa Kiltz and her supervisor Marjon Fokkens-Bruinsma from the University of Groningen. The picture shows that students in different contexts have similar experiences and efforts to support them can benefit from exchange.
