The first year with Peppi – how does it feel? Answer the feedback survey by 15 December 2022

09.12.2022 Leave a Comment on The first year with Peppi – how does it feel? Answer the feedback survey by 15 December 2022

In this feedback survey, you will be able to tell from your point of view on Peppi’s deployment process, how Peppi’s use is now going and what development needs you have to Peppi or its related services.

The survey for UEF students (opens in a new tab) is open between 24 November and 15 December 2022.

The operations are developed based on feedback. The development proposals received through the survey will be added to the list of previously received Peppi development proposals and taken forward to the operator developing each detail in the Peppi consortium or to the providers of plug-in services, or included in the services to be developed at the University of Eastern Finland.

The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Thank you!

PS. If you submit your contact information on the feedback survey or separately (opens in a new tab) you may win a UEF backpack (opens in a new tab) and a Peppi thermos on a draw on 16 December 2022.

PPS. The survey for UEF staff (opens in a new tab) is also open between 24 November and 15 December 2022.

Please send questions and remarks on the feedback survey to peppituki(at)uef.fi.

Loneliness is a communal issue – support is available

21.10.2022 Leave a Comment on Loneliness is a communal issue – support is available

Loneliness is something we all experience from time to time. Sometimes we can feel lonely even when surrounded by people. Especially when adapting to a new culture or new stage of life, loneliness can feel overwhelming. When loneliness is prolonged, it can have a strong negative impact on well-being and studies, and it can feel like a difficult cycle to get out of. Support for loneliness is available at UEF.

Sharing your thoughts and experiences with UEF’s trained peer counsellors can be a good place to start. Peer counsellors are master’s degree students in social and health sciences, who have been trained to offer counselling to students in a variety of challenging situations. They work under the supervision of UEFs study psychologists and campus pastors. Discussions with peer counsellors are strictly confidential, free-of-charge and anonymous, if you wish.

Campus pastors offer individual guidance by offering verbal aid for personal growth and the various changes life may throw at you. You can feel safe talking withe campus pastor, and you are not required to be a member of the church or possess a certain view of the world.

The Crisis Centers in Kuopio and Joensuu offer professional counselling for difficult situations in life, including loneliness.

Kuopio’s “Coffee & Friends” evenings offer students a place to come hang out after lectures, to enjoy refreshments and good company. You can come to the café on your own or bring someone with you. You are warmly welcome just as you are! The evenings are held on Tuesdays from 4pm to 6pm in the Studentia chapel.
