Rahvusvahelise üliõpilaste uuringu Eurostudent VII aastatel 2018-2020 seati Eesti puhul lähteülesanne hinnata üliõpilaste vaimset tervist, analüüsida sellesse puutuvaid erinevaid muutujaid ning koondada ühte dokumenti soovitused nii kõrgkoolidele kui ka tudengitele endale.

EUROSTUDENT on rahvusvaheline üliõpilaste uuring, mida viiakse läbi iga kolme aasta tagant
ning mille eesmärk on koguda ja kõrvutada usaldusväärseid ja võrreldavaid andmeid
kõrghariduse sotsiaalse mõõtme kohta. Viimases uuringulaines – EUROSTUDENT VII osales 28
Euroopa riiki. Selles uuringus koguti lisaks üle-Euroopaliselt kokku lepitud teemadele Eestis
andmeid põhjalikumalt ka üliõpilaste vaimse tervise kohta. See sai võimalikuks tänu Tartu
Ülikooli Üliõpilasesinduse initsiatiivile teema tõstatamisel ja adresseerimisel koos noorte
vaimse tervise edendamisega tegelevate organisatsioonide (Eesti Arstiteadusüliõpilaste Selts,
MTÜ Peaasjad, Eesti Noorte Vaimse Tervise Liikumine) esindajatega. EUROSTUDENT VII uuring toimus aastatel 2018-2020 ning kokku osales küsitluses 2760 üliõpilast. Andmete kogumine toimus enne COVID-19 viiruse puhangut. (Eurostudent VII: fookus Eesti üliõpilaste vaimsel tervisel, 2021)

Andmete põhjal koostas poliitikauuringute keskus Praxis lühiülevaate, millest selgub, et ülikooli ajal on tudengitel vaimne tervis oluliselt halvemas seisukorras kui teistel vanusegruppidel ning seda peamiselt depressiooni ja üldise väsimuse sümptomite tõttu. Kõrgema vaimse distressi tasemega üliõpilastel on rohkem probleeme ka õppetööga. 4.8%. Eesti tudengitest on tundnud, et neid õpikeskkonnas kiusatakse.

Selle kuu tegijaks on LTI üliõpilasnõukogu liige Alfred. Alfred hakkas LTI üliõpilasnõukogus aktiivselt kaasa lööma juba enne liikmeks saamist. Ta andis oma panuse LTI üliõpilasnõukogu jõuluistumise korraldamisel ning käis avatud uste päevadel rääkimas nii oma erialast kui ka LTI üliõpilasnõukogust. 

Nüüdseks on Alfredist saanud üliõpilasnõukogu täieõiguslik liige ning ta tegutseb üliõpilasnõukogus edasi samasuguse innuga. Hetkel veab Alfred eest üliõpilasnõukogus meenete tellimise projekti ning korraldab virtuaalset LTI tutvustusüritust gümanisistidele, et populariseerida loodusteadusi. 

Alfredi näol on tegemist asjaliku inimesega, kes tahab üliõpilaskonnas asju korda saata ning on valmis “härjal sarvist haarama”. Oma pühendumust üliõpilaskonnale näitab ka asjaolu, et Alfred kandideeris volikogu uude koosseisu. Alfred on oma töökuse, pühendumuse ning pealehakkamisega meile kõigile eeskujuks! 

Sel kuul nomineeriti palju inimesi erinevatest üliõpilaskonna organitest ning erinevatelt positsioonidelt. Nende hulka kuulusid lisaks Alfredile veel Marlen Taggu (LTI ÜN liige), Hanna Greta Alamets (volikogu liige, senati liige), Marianna Vaga (vabatahtlike koordinaator), Anna-Liis Uuetoa (volikogu spiiker), Karmen Lusikas (CIVITASe toetajaliige), Mihkel Joll (DigiTechi esimees), KÜNi endine juhatus (Delis Pärnoja, Ellinor Raudsepp, Diana Eelma), Erik Mikkus (ÜK juhatuse liige sotsiaalpoliitika valdkonnas) ja Lydia Kurus (ÜK tubli vabatahtlik). 

Järgmisel kuul saab kuu tegijaid nomineerida kuni 27. aprillini siin.

This month’s Standout Member is Alfred, a member of the LTI Student Council. Alfred started to be actively involved in the LTI Student Council even before becoming a member of it. He contributed to the organization of the LTI Student Council’s Christmas celebrations and went to the Tallinn University Open Doors Week to talk about both his profession and the LTI Student Council.

Alfred has now become a member of the Student Council and continues to be active with the same enthusiasm. Alfred is currently coordinating souvenirs ordering for the Student Council and organizing a virtual LTI introductory event for high school graduates to popularize the natural sciences among them.

Alfred is a businesslike person who wants to get things done in the Student Union and is ready to “grab the bull by the horns”. The fact that Alfred was a candidate for the new Representative Council also shows his commitment to the Student Union. Alfred is an example to us all with his hard work, dedication and enterpriseS

This month, many people from different Student Union bodies and positions were nominated. In addition to Alfred, Marlen Taggu (member of LTI ÜN), Hanna Greta Alamets (member of the Representative Council, member of the Senate), Marianna Vaga (volunteers manager), Anna-Liis Uuetoa (Representative Council’s speaker), Karmen Lusikas (volunteer of Civitas), Mihkel Joll (Chairman of DigiTech), former board of KÜN (Delis Pärnoja, Ellinor Raudsepp, Diana Eelma), Erik Mikkus (Member of the Board in Social Policy Affairs) and Lydia Kurus (diligent volunteer of the SU) were also nominated for the title this month. 

Next month, the Standout Member of the month can be nominated until April 27 here.

Throughout April 2021, Tallinn University Student Union has organized a variety of events regarding sustainable development that will take place in an online format. Tallinn University’s Student Union’s mission is to represent the rights and interests of the students and to advance their development opportunities and Green Month is a great opportunity for developing skills regarding sustainability.

This Year, Tallinn University decided to devote one whole month to sustainable development and support its members (students, academic, administrative, and technical staff) and the society as a whole to address social, cultural, economic, health-related, and environmental issues.

Tallinn University appreciates the Student Union’s efforts to involve and include every student in the activities related to the sustainable development of Estonia and encourages everyone to take action and discover and show their potential as Green Heroes. To promote further inclusivity, university students, academic, administrative, and technical staff, and alumni are encouraged to come together and interact to find the best and most innovative ways to make Tallinn University “greener” and learn about Sustainable Development Goals and their impact on our lives from the Estonian Roundtable for Development Cooperation. 

The internationality and diversity of the Tallinn University community (as it consists of more than 7,500 students from 70 countries and every 10th academic person is of foreign background) will be reflected in the language that all the events will be held (English), the special guests that will participate in the activities from all over the world by sharing their knowledge, expertise and experience towards sustainability and on the participation of the international student community in Estonia. 

Sustainability is addressed as a way to meet our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and is not limited to just environmentalism. Through workshops, experiential learning, and collaboration, Green Month aims to address different aspects of sustainability and intends to encourage action. As Green Month’s Project Manager says  “My vision for Green Month is to organize impactful and meaningful activities for everyone so that the environmental action will not stop on the 30th of April but each participant can learn something and put it into action in their lives afterward and define their own sustainability path in their everyday life”. Learning how to eat sustainably by cooking together, how to live with less by playing the 30-days minimalism game, how to consume responsibly upcycling coffee grounds, how to balance our hormones by making our own cosmetics, how to cut plastic waste by discovering the benefits of bees are some of the workshops that will take place led by experts on the field. 

Mental and physical health are crucial parts of our well-being and sustainability (especially during COVID-19 times), and Green Month will address it by organizing panels for nurturing our well-being mentally and physically, by bringing examples from warmer countries such as Greece and Cyprus, Italy, and India. 

Find here the list with all the events for Tallinn University’s Green Month where you can register in advance to those that interest you.

For any questions and requests regarding the Green Month, get in touch  with Green Month Project Manager, Katerina Chantzi at: rohelinenadal@esindus.ee.

Alates 22. veebruarist töötab üliõpilaskonna kontoris Rohelise Kuu projektijuht Katerina Chantzi, kelle korraldada on aprillis toimuv suurejooneline Rohelise Kuu ürituste seeria. 

Katerina on sotsiaalse ettevõtluse magistriõppekava üliõpilane, kes on loonud enda sotsiaalse ettevõtte BinFree, mis pakub pandipakendite äraveo teenust ning ettevõtetele keskkonnaalaseid konsultatsioone, koolitusi, motivatsioonisüsteeme ning üritusi. Tema kirg jätkusuutliku arengu vastu kajastub ka seni ülikoolis tehtus: eelmisel semestril osales ta topsivaba TLÜ ELU projektis ning jagas enda isiklikke jätkusuutlikkuse alaseid eesmärke ülikooli blogis. Lisaks on ta korraldanud mitmeid sellekohaseid üritusi nii Eestis kui ka teistes riikides.

Rohelise Kuu visioonina näeb ta võimalust korraldada mõjusaid ning tähenduslikke üritusi kõigile, et keskkonnateadlikud tegevused ei lõppeks 30. aprillil, vaid et iga osaleja õpiks midagi uut ning asuks saadud teadmisi igapäevaelus kasutama. Ta soovib, et Roheline Kuu oleks jätkusuutliku arengu alal teerajaja nii ülikoolisiseselt kui ka väljaspool ülikooli. Täpsemalt saad tema mõtetest lugeda allpool ingliskeelses tekstis.

Innustame julgelt kõiki Rohelise Kuuga seotud heade ideede ja mõtetega Katerina (rohelinenadal@esindus.ee) poole pöörduma.

Katerina Chantzi, the project manager of the Green Month, has been working in the Student Union’s office since February 22, organizing a spectacular series of Green Month events in April. She is doing her Master’s in Social Entrepreneurship and during her studies she has started her own social enterprise in Estonia, BinFree, that offers pickup recycling services for glass, plastic, metal drinking containers (deposit packages) and glass recyclables to households, restaurants, bars and companies to initiate a spillover of environmental actions through rewarding mechanisms, consultations, trainings, online courses and community events. 

Her passion for acting sustainably and  her values to inspire and help others  are evident throughout her career and her journey in Tallinn University. Last semester she participated in ELU project “TLU Topsivaba II” and shared her personal goals for sustainability in the University’s blog. She has organised several events such as clean-ups , clothes swaps  and public lectures in Tallinn, Estonia and in the countries that she has previously lived and worked (Greece, Denmark and Malawi).  Her contribution to the local community has been recognised from the Population Policy Department of the Estonian Ministry of the Interior and Tallinn University, as she has been awarded with the Scholarship Recognising Civic Participation in 2020. 

Regarding her vision for the Green Month, she says:  “I am very happy that this year we have a Green Month instead of Green Week in the University. This gives the opportunity to organise more activities and focus on different aspects of sustainability. My vision for Green Month is to organise impactful and meaningful activities for everyone (online-offline, within and outside campus), so that the environmental action will not stop on the 30th of April but each participant can learn something and put it into action in their lives afterwards and define their own sustainability path in their everyday life. Tallinn University has pledged to be a Green University and I will do my best to make the Green Month a pioneer for the sustainable development for the University community but also for the Tallinn society. My vision for the future is to establish a green office in the University that is funded and approved by the University management and is jointly led by students and staff. Inclusiveness and diversity are very important elements of sustainable development and I would be more than happy to hear the university community’s needs, ideas, suggestions and worries regarding  the Green Month”.

We encourage you to contact Katerina (rohelinenadal@esindus.ee) with any ideas or suggestions you have about the Green Month.

Märtsist alustab tööd üliõpilaskonna esimene vabatahtlike koordinaator Marianna Vaga.

Marianna tööks on üliõpilasnõukogude ja klubide töö koordineerimine, toetamine ja arendamine. Konkreetsemad tööülesanded on näiteks üliõpilasnõukogude protokollide ja otsuste ülevaatamine, arenguvestluste tegemine klubide ja üliõpilasnõukogudega ning JUHE ja HUVI koosolekutel osalemine. See tähendab, et Mariannast saab nii klubide kui ka üliõpilasnõukogude esmane kontaktisik kõigi probleemide puhul.

Praegu Marianna alles elab oma töökohale sisse, kuid anname kindlasti teada, kui Marianna on valmis tööga alustama ning saab hakata tema poole pöörduma. Seni pöörduge kõigi muredega jätkuvalt personalijuhi Triinu poole.

Kertu on imeinimene, kes jõuab kõike! Kertu on tüdruk, kelle näol on alati naeratus ning kelle käed on alati tööd täis. Oma ametiaja jooksul on ta teinud järjepidevalt head tööd. Lisaks oma tavapärastele tegemistele pole tal kunagi probleemi võtta enda peale ka muid ülesandeid (näiteks üliõpilaskonna maskoti tellimine). Samuti tuleb ta alati vastu kõigile abipalvetele ning teeb teoks teiste poolt välja käidud head ideed. Viimastel kuudel on Kertu tegelenud aktiivselt volikogu valimiste kampaaniaga ning saanud sellega suurepäraselt hakkama. Üle mitme aasta on volikogul rohkelt kandidaate ning koosseisu kokkusaamine pole probleem. Eelmisel nädalal oli Kertu üks imelistest saatejuhtidest Tallinna Ülikooli avatud uste nädalal. Kertu esindas paljude gümnasistide valvsa pilgu all väga hästi nii ülikooli kui ka üliõpilaskonda ning tuli võitjana välja ka kõige ebamugavamatest olukordadest intervjueeritavatega. Kõik see on ainult jäämäe tipp sellest, millega Kertu igapäevaselt hakkama saab ja meile kõigile eeskujuks on.

Lisaks Kertule said sel kuul nomineeritud veel Triin Taal (üliõpilaskonna personalijuht), Jelizaveta Karavajeva (Meediumi juht), Erle Neeme (Rahvusvahelise klubi juht) ning vabariigi aastapäeva filmiöö korraldustiim. 

Märtsis saab üliõpilaskonna tublisid liikmeid nomineerida kuu tegija tiitlile 25. märtsini siin.

Kertu is a wonderful person who has the power to do everything well. Kertu is a girl who always has a smile on her face and whose hands are always full of work. She has consistently done a good job in the Student Union. In addition to her usual tasks, she never has a problem taking on other tasks (like ordering a mascot to the SU). In recent months, Kertu has been actively working on the Representative Council election campaign and has managed it excellently. Over several years, the Representative Council has many candidates and filling the membership is not a problem. Last week, Kertu was one of the show hosts at Tallinn University Open Doors Week. Kertu represented both the university and the SU very well and emerged as the winner from even the most uncomfortable situations with the interviewees. All this is just the tip of the iceberg of how Kertu is being a role model for all of us. 

In addition to Kertu, Triin Taal (Head of the Human Resources), Jelizaveta Karavajeva (Chairperson of Meedium), Erle Neeme (President of the International Club) and the organisers of the Estonian Independence Day movie night were nominated to the title of the Standout Member of the SU this month. 

In March you can nominate the hard-working and outstanding members of the SU until March 25 here.
