About the project
Short description
How do you talk to yourself? What tips do your students have for other student to help with their »problems«, such as anxiety, stress before a test, what do they do to focus better in class, how do they calm themslves down right before and exam or at night before to get better sleep, how do they warm up their brain to better perform in different school subject? Do they do math mental calculations as a competition at the beginnig of class(es)? Do they listen to or sing a song that lifts their mood before they go to school or to find motivation to study or do exercises? Do they take photographs and thus search for beauty in nature/life when they are feelling down? Beautiful photography can contribute to improving your mood. What are your tips for better mental health and better perfomance in the classroom (and life)? Make (tik tok) video tips (advice) and upload them to our TwinSpace. Send us your photos of the beauty you find in your environment.
