Listen "Student Wellbeing Under The Lock Down- Experiences From Colombia"
Episode Synopsis
In the first episode, we spoke to a student from UniAndes, Colombia. In order to meet her, here is what she said about herself and her experience during the pandemic:
"My name is Andrea Pineda, and I'm a 22-years-old Political Science student at Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia. The pandemic hasn't been fair with me; it has pushed me back four steps that I had once overcome with my anxiety and depression. And I know this isn't an exceptional situation - many of my friends are currently juggling virtual classes and worsening mental health. It's unfair to us, university students from all over the world, to be forced to continue our studies as if we weren't facing a pandemic and continuous lockdowns that have turned our lives 180º. Our mental health must be addressed, and it's our job to bring the topic to discussion."
