Berlin University Alliance - Glück Ahoi! - Gestärkt und gesund durch die Promotion

 

Glück Ahoi! - Gestärkt und gesund durch die Promotion

am Donnerstag, den 20.04.2023 und Freitag, den 21.04.2023.

 

Wir freuen uns Ihnen dieses Modul an einem besonderen und grünen Tagungsort in Dahlem anbieten zu können!

 

Haben Sie das Gefühl ständig angespannt zu sein, Probleme manchmal nicht bewältigen zu können und keinen Spaß mehr an der täglichen Arbeit zu erleben? Eine Promotion bedeutet mehr als nur das Schreiben der Dissertation. Der Leistungsdruck und der Grad der Eigenverantwortung ist hoch.

Dieses Modul hat ein kleines, aber feines Repertoire an kreativen Methoden aus der Positiven Psychologie und Glücksforschung, MBSR (Mindful Based Stress Reduction) und Resilienzcoaching. Es ermöglicht Ihnen einen besseren Umgang mit promotionsbedingtem Stress, stärkt Ihre psychische Widerstandsfähigkeit und unterstützt Sie dabei, mit den verschiedenen Herausforderungen in der Promotionsphase angemessen umzugehen und Ihre psychische Gesundheit zu erhalten.

Die Veranstaltung findet an einem ruhigen und grünen Ort in Berlin statt. Damit wir uns im Rahmen der Veranstaltung auf die eigenen Ressourcen, Stärken und Potentiale konzentrieren können, haben wir auch an die gesamte Gesundheit gedacht und so ist neben dem Tagungshaus mit einem parkähnlichen Garten auch für die Verpflegung gesorgt.

 

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldungen: https://events.tu-berlin.de/de/events/01865fbd-90fc-71b5-82ee-4dc7753efde2

 

Information: Es finden parallel zwei Gruppen statt.

·  Gruppe 1 (deutschsprachiger Durchgang)

·  Oder Gruppe  2 (englischsprachiger Durchgang)

Happiness Ahoy - Strengthened and healthy through the doctoral thesis

Thu, 20.04.2023 & Fri, 21.04.2023

 

We are pleased to offer you this module at a special and green conference location in Dahlem!

 

Do you have the feeling of being constantly tense, sometimes unable to cope with problems and no longer experiencing any fun in your daily work? A doctorate means more than just writing the dissertation. The pressure to perform and the degree of personal responsibility are high.

This module has a small but fine repertoire of creative methods from Positive Psychology and Happiness Research, MBSR (Mindful Based Stress Reduction) and Resilience Coaching. It enables you to better deal with doctoral-related stress, strengthens your psychological resilience and supports you in dealing appropriately with the various challenges in the doctoral phase and in maintaining your mental health.

 

The event will take place in a quiet and green place in Berlin. So that we can focus on our own resources, strengths, and potentials during the event, we have also thought about overall health and so, in addition to the meeting house with a park-like garden, catering is also provided.

 

We are looking forward to your registrations: https://events.tu-berlin.de/de/events/01865fc7-aedb-72ed-9369-37370f6707f6

 

Information: There will be two groups in parallel.

  • Group 1 (German-speaking)
  • or Group 2 (English speaking)
