Toteutustapa

Stress Tolerance -study unit is addressed primarily to the 3. and 4. year students, who may face stress in their study conduction, thesis planning or writing and in work placements. There are scheduled six sessions now, and we will decide about the remaining three sessions together.
Contact sessions are mainly held in class rooms and in visiting places ( Winter Garden, art gallery, Chapel of Silence).
Canvas learning space is used. There are some online sessions, too.
There must be 20 students to make this study unit. Therefor, we may combine Laurea Tikkurila and Leppävaara study units.
