Student Wellbeing
A New Rapport Towards the Future
Featuring the work of Pascale Mompoint-Gaillard
Our thoughts about the future determine in great ways where we focus our attention in the present.
For many recent generations, there was a certain linearity in our thoughts about the future: Progress was linear and tomorrow would be better than yesterday.
There was certainty and linearity that could be counted on.
Youth today don’t have this confidence and conviction.
In fact, they’re left feeling just the opposite: tomorrow may be worse than today.
There is a terrible legacy being handed down to them. A battered planet, increasing poverty levels…
Fear of the unknown is possibly the most fundamental fear of human beings.
Waiting for certainty can feel like torture. The brain prefers a known outcome, even a negative one, than uncertainty.
It’s important that we take student wellbeing and mental health very seriously!
When we are in depression and anxiety, we think efforts are not worth it… it won’t change…
It is important to find creative ways to address these issues at all times.
In this article we answer some questions regarding the decision to transform Learn to Change from an association to a collective.
In this article, we talk about what we mean by Collective – the new form chosen by L2C – and how you can join it.
Learn to Change’s members held a General Assembly in fall 2022, in which the decision was taken to transform the association into a less formal, and more agile entity. Therefore, we will change status, going from an ‘organization’ to a less formal entity that we name “The collective”
If you feel you are committed to the vision and mission of the association, then your place is here.
We are sure that becoming a member will benefit you in many ways. Read the product description for more details or click sign up now.
