Studying what you love can be both inspiring and demanding. Welcome to a session where Feelgood shares insights and practical tools to stay motivated while avoiding unnecessary stress.
When motivation runs high, it’s easy to push yourself too far, and over time the line between passion and stress can become blurred. What once felt creative and meaningful can start to feel overwhelming as projects shift from personal exploration to delivering for someone else. Deadlines, expectations and constant evaluation can slowly drain the joy from your work.
In this session on student health and stress, the student health care provider Feelgood, will share insights and practical tools on how planning your process, structuring your workload and setting boundaries can help you stay motivated and avoid unnecessary stress when your passion becomes part of your future profession.
Alumna Chrisse Kuisma Karlsson from the MFA programme in Metal Art will share reflections from a student perspective, looking back on their time in the programme and the transition into professional artistic practice. Drawing on personal experience, the talk explores what supported motivation and wellbeing during the studies, what proved energizing, and how stress and expectations were managed as creative work gradually became more professionally oriented.
Two hours of inspiration to help you perform, without burning out.
The session will be in English. No registration, just show up.
This session, 9 March, is for programme students at HDK-Valand Campus Steneby. On 18 February there is a session for programme students at HDK-Valand in Gothenburg
